The event turned out to be a success - here’s an update from the last EKNA Beautification meeting:
13 folks came out to help clean up Coral Street as well as Fletcher. 74 bags of trash were collected. Stan called the sanitation department on Friday and they picked up the trash on Monday without hitch. A few neighbors were wondering why folks were out cleaning and EKNA members tried to spread the word.
Thank you to everyone for cleaning up a small part of our neighborhood and to Stan for spearheading this event.
The EKNA Beautification Committee is organizing targeted community cleanups within the boundaries of East Kensington throughout 2008. The next cleanup will take place on Saturday, February 2, 2008 on the 1900 Block of York Street (between Jasper & Emerald Streets). This location has been selected due to the high volume of trash and its proximity to the York-Dauphin station. Help us clean up this gateway to our neighborhood. We will be gathering at 9:00 AM at 2064 E. York Street. The cleanup will begin at 10 AM. Refreshments and snacks will be provided for those who come early. Some cleaning equipment and supplies will be available including trash bags and brooms. Please bring gloves and any other supplies that you would like to use. The cleanup is weather permitting.
