“On July 18, the York Quay and the Bathurst Quay neighbourhood associations organised a waterfront community clean up. Close to 20 volunteers worked from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. cleaning out 21 overflowing garbage bins along 2 km from Queen’s Quay to Bay to Stadium Rd. All together we filled 52 garbage bags. The successful clean up was made possible with the assistance of the Waterfront BIA, the Harbour Castle and Radisson hotels, and the 15 individual property managers of condo buildings along Queen’s Quay who each allowed us to throw two or three filled bags into their individual bins. Another waterfront community clean up was being considered for the middle of August.”
