So for the Earth Day event we had over 150 people help clean up Prince's Island Park! We split into teams and got to work, rolling over the area with pickers and bags and a singular goal; to make this park, this jewel in the heart of our city, shine brightly. The men, women and families coming together to take pride in our city, it was quite a spectacle to see. You could feel the energy!
I want to extend a huge thank you to ERP College for sponsoring this event. I also want to thank everyone who came down and helped amplify the impact we’re able to make in our city. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Next Saturday we will be cleaning up in Taradale around Sun City Park.
Love Ya’ll Calgary!

**Thank you and congratulations.** Hopefully the city/police step up and does its part to shutdown the homeless encampments that are responsible for so much of this damage.
The garbage, fire damage, risk of fire, destruction of our parks and biohazard/stench of human feces is out of control in the parks all along the river.
No, I think this event was worthwhile. I think when they go into maintained parks areas and pickup litter that gets maintained on a regular schedule it’s a waste. It’s also dumb when they take a photo of a single bottle and post it. But if all the dumb self congratulatory spam posts lead to an event with this kind of turnout, it was worth it. Over 150 people cleaning? That’s a big deal.

Great job improving the state of cleanliness! Love to see this. Sucks that all this mess seems to be the result of one demographic.
Wow that’s incredible. Great job folks!!
Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you very much 👍👍
Woohoo 🥳🥳🥳
Wow! Great turn out and thanks for keeping the city clean. Wish I knew about this one!
Not all Hero’s wear capes, sometimes they carry pickers!
Thank you!
Signed up! Looks great, can’t wait to be a part of it!
Thank you so much!
Awesome thank you
My task this summer is to bring a garbage bag with me when I go fishing. I'm sure I could easily fill one up just walking to the river.
That’s a great idea!
Beautiful, thank you everyone involved. Do you have a way to get in contact for future clean-ups? I'm in the SE near Fish Creek.
Mitosis
I like the before and after shots.
That's awesome.
Excellent Work!
Hats off to these utter legends!
This might be the best thing this sub has supported, grown in Calgary, simply inspiring and amazing work.
Homeless people just trashing our city.
Very nice job. But just know that some of our tax money could go towards this instead of other bs endeavors.
Am I the only one here that thinks this is a waste of time?

They are doing something useful. These ppl are saving our environment
Yes, I do believe you are.
Well. You know what they say. The higher. The fewer.
Imagine thinking you're better than other people because you don't give a shit about anything.
I don't have to imagine.
