Do you have high schoolers looking to earn volunteer hours? A Scout or Guide group eager to give back? Or maybe you’re one of the thousands of dedicated volunteers who roll up their sleeves twice a year to keep Ottawa looking its best.
No matter if you’re a team of one or a hundred, join the Cleaning the Capital litter cleanup project and make a difference in your community. After a long winter, our parks, shorelines, and streets could use a little TLC—so let’s get to work.
