The 4th annual
Canby Livability clean-up day is Sunday, June 24, 2007.
We will be
cleaning up 12 gateways in community along with other projects suggested by
citizens. The majority of projects will be completed on Sunday, June 24th
between 1-4 PM however we will arrange flexible times for volunteers needing
projects in the morning. We will also have several business groups that will
be doing projects during the week prior and after. There is a project for everyone regardless of
capability or expertise. The day’s and times for the projects can be
schedules to accommodate volunteer needs. The projects include, but are not
limited to:
·
Cleaning entrances by wiping down
“Welcome to Canby” signs, pulling weeds, and trash pick up
·
Removing trash from the
designated “adopt a road” site
·
Cleaning up vacant lots or
overgrown areas with berry bushes or tall grass
·
Planting flowers
·
Graffiti removal
·
Removing expired signage such as
garage sale signs and “for sale by owner”.
At the June 7,
2006
City Council Meeting, Mayor Melody Thompson proclaimed the last Sunday of
June as the official
day for cleaning up our city before the start of summer activities that
attract visitors to Canby.
