River and Community Clean Up

Saturday, May 3

Clean Up: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

Picnic: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

On Saturday, May 3 the ICA and it’s volunteers will once again participate in the City of Calgary’s Annual Pathway and River Clean Up, but as usual we’ll make it bigger! In addition to our assigned river reach ICA volunteers will disperse over 17 additional clean-up areas around Inglewood and Ramsay. Check out the list below for information about all of the clean-up areas. We also need the help of a couple of folks with trucks to pick up the full garbage and recycling bags, and some people to lead our clean-up groups.

In the afternoon, volunteers and community members will gather on the ICA Grounds for a BBQ, live music, The Sprawl Calgary’s pop-up printing press, games, and more. Clean-up and picnic volunteers will receive a free sausage or hot dog, beverage and ice cream treat. Community members that were not able to volunteer in the morning will still be invited to attend the picnic. Attendance at the picnic is free for all Inglewood and Ramsay community members with some low-cost fees for food and drinks service items for those who did not volunteer.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own: chairs, picnic blankets, dishes and cutlery, and side dishes to share with their neighbours. Come on out for a good old fashioned community picnic.

The ICA is excited to announce our partnerships on this great event soon. Stay tuned!
