Participants can drop off completed registration forms and pick up their litter kit at several locations including: the Civic Centre lobby, Walmart courtesy desk, Green Circle Environmental Inc. office, and the Downtown Association office.

Prizes will be awarded for the best participant photos taken during the event.

Mayor Debbie Amaroso and Councillor Steve Butland will kick off the event at the Civic Centre at 11 a.m. on April 20. 

Specials thanks to event sponsors: Walmart, OLG, Tim Hortons and Algoma’s Water Tower Inn for their generous contributions; and media sponsors: EZ Rock 100.5/Q104 Today’s Country, the Sault Star and Sault This Week.
