Spring Clean-ups in Inner Winnipeg Neighbourhoods
Media Release
WINNIPEG
- May 9, 2008 – Committed to creating safer neighbourhoods
and a clean City of Opportunity, Mayor Sam Katz today highlighted
some of the many community clean-ups taking place in Winnipeg
over the next month.
“A
clean city instills pride and a sense of ownership for those
who live in that community,” said Mayor Sam Katz. “When
citizens lead by example and roll up their sleeves, it is
an opportunity for others to challenge their community and
take part in the positive revitalization of their own neighbourhoods
to create a safer city.”
Many
neighbourhood associations within the inner-Winnipeg communities
and throughout Winnipeg implement spring clean-up events with
the support of organizations such as Take Pride Winnipeg.
The City of Winnipeg is proud to support these neighbourhood
initiatives by participating on the organizing committee,
loan of equipment, provision of safety gloves, neighbourhood
maps, etc.
This
Spring, the new Community By-law Enforcement Unit will connect
with many of the neighbourhood associations that are conducting
a clean-up and follow up with the owners of specific private
properties which are posing a problem from a maintenance perspective.
Some
of the scheduled clean-ups include:
