With the warmer weather slowly settling in, the City of Yellowknife is taking the opportunity to spruce things up for the season.
Local non-profit organizations are being given the opportunity to sign up for the city’s Spring Clean-Up program. This program offers up to $550 for local community groups who volunteer to clean up an assigned area of the city while the snow is still melting.
The cleanup will take place from May 11th to the 25th, with the deadline to apply coming up on Wednesday, May 8th at 9:00am. Once all applications are sent in, volunteers will be assigned their areas to clean based on garbage density. The City is aiming to have 58 different areas cleaned up. This means that the areas assigned will increase in size if there are not enough applicants to meet that number.
Only public land will be cleaned, and applicants can receive multiple areas if they request it. Applicants must have at least ten volunteers in their groups, and gloves and bags will be provided.
