Hi Neighbours:
This year, Kindersley is
participating in the National Communities in Bloom competition. As part of
preparing for the judging in July, we have entered a “Tidy Week” contest with
Humboldt. The challenge is to see which community can log more volunteer hours
of tidying yards, parks, roadways, laneways (alleys), vacant lots, work places
and work lots, and any other spot that needs beautification.
This contest runs from June 16 – 20,
and Humboldt (when they lose) will have their Mayor, Malcolm Eaton, wear a
Klippers' jersey during the home opener for the Humboldt Broncos.
Details are still being worked out
with a partner to record the volunteer hours. So, stay tuned for details.
I have to say that I think Malcolm will look good sporting a green and
blue Klippers' jersey. Wearing a Broncos' jersey doesn't appeal to me, so
Kindersley, let’s make sure we are victorious.
Kindersley Youth Council is also getting
into the beautification of Kindersley, with a twist. Their contest is called
Cleanup Capture, and the winner gets a complimentary one-year subscription to
Loraas' curbside recycling program.
Participation is easy:
1. When you see litter around the
community, pick it up and take it to the nearest trash or recycle container.
Before you toss it in, take a “selfie” pic with your cell phone.
2. Tweet the picture
to @youthcouncil4 with the hashtag #cleanupcapture or share on the Youth
Council's Facebook page
The winner’s name and pic will be
drawn on Communities in Bloom judging day, July 14.
Hmmm.... perhaps trashing something
takes on a whole new meaning. It should be interesting.
Regarding the curbside recycling:
excellent program. Our garage is a lot cleaner and no recyclable sorting is
required.
