2 Earth Week, HALTON HILLS · Tuesday, April 12, 2011 Residents pitch in for cleanup Continued from pg. 1 "Virtually all communities rely on volunteers to do an annual community cleanup. It is very labour intensive picking up candy wrappers, cigarette butts, and water bottles. Thank goodness we have local heroes who willingly take on this job." High school students are reminded that they can use their community cleanup hours towards their volunteer requirements, provided their time can be verified. The Town of Halton Hills appreciates the tremendous support it receives from the local business community. Once again, Tim Hortons will be donating gloves, t-shirts and product to support our efforts. McDonald's will be making gloves and bags available to volunteers at all its Halton Hills restaurants. Superior Glove will be donating gloves for all of the school participants. Here are some locations commencing at 9 a.m. where you can go and help pick up litter: Georgetown Fairgrounds, Dominion Gardens, Glen Williams Park and Wallace Street in Acton. It is very helpful if participating groups register their clean-up location with the Town of Halton Hills, Infrastructure Services, Public Works Division by calling 905-873-2601 ext. 2609. The Town will pick up collected litter upon request. Free gloves and bags are also available at the Robert C. Austin Operations Centre located at 11620 Trafalgar Road, Georgetown.

Although the 22 Minute Makeover is traditionally held on Earth Day, is not possible this year due to the Good Friday holiday. Halton Hills will celebrate the 22 Minute Makeover on Wednesday, April 20. Thousands of students and employees will be out in full force picking up litter and generally tidying up Mother Earth. It is expected that all Halton Hills schools, including all elementary, secondary and independent schools will participate again this year. Last year, businesses such as Sun Opta and Purity Life sent virtually all of their employees out on a beautiful spring day to collect truck loads of litter in Norval and Acton. It is hoped that even more businesses will see the value in participating this year. The 22 Minute Makeover takes little more time than the average coffee break, but is much more rewarding See ANNUAL, pg. 3 7th Annual Halton Hills 22 MINUTE MAKEOVER Wednesday April 20th, 2011 In past years, we have had 100% participation from area schools a n d a g ro w i n g n u m b e r o f businesses participating in our municipality, and we are hoping to attract even more this year.
