The Board of Management of Leaside Community Memorial Gardens is asking residents to participate in its Clean Toronto Together this Sunday. The Gardens will lead a team of volunteer “litter-picker-uppers” from the community in an effort to clean up the public spaces at the LMCG and surrounding areas. The team will work its way from the Leaside Arena north on Laird Drive to toward Eglinton. There will be water and snacks available. The project authorizes student service hours as well as handing out water and energy bars for our volunteers. To make it fun, the ia a game of “litter bingo”. The aim is to make the east boundary of Leaside clean and welcoming for all. Local businesses and residents are encouraged to join in by volunteering, or simply come out and cheer us on. Janice Ivory-Smith is Chair of the Community Relations Committee at Leaside Gardens said “the staff and Board of Management of Leaside Gardens take our commitment to the Leaside community seriously. That’s why we are excited to partner with the City and our neighbours to Clean Toronto Together. We hope to see lots of volunteers on the day.”
