Mayor Ford invites you to mark Cleanup Day 2013

Mayor Ford will be trying to set an example today that his constituents all across town will actually want to follow. He will join his neighbors and supporters in observing Cleanup Day at Colonel Samuel Smith in Ward 6 (Etobicoke-Lakeshore). This Toronto-wide citizen participation cleanup was the Mayor’s idea and it seems to have caught on as hundreds of groups will participate in the third annual event. It’s really a month long program in which citizens and the city deal with litter, graffiti and vandalism. Locally, our street seems to have come out from under the snow looking better than usual. But a sweep of Bayview Avenue’s wide sidewalks would be good for the spirit and an excellent example to others. The picture distributed online of Mayor Ford as the poster boy for a spring cleanup is one of his better portrayals.
