Although we try to hold the 22 Minute Makeover on Earth Day, this year that is not possible due to Good Friday coinciding with Earth Day this year. Halton Hills is ready to celebrate the 22 Minute Makeover on Wednesday, April 20th. 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 and arguably more refreshing. Participants are usually quite excited by the time they have completed their 22 minutes of litter pick-up. They regularly remark that they are totally amazed at the amount of litter there is and how good they feel about getting if off the ground and out of sight. Employees from the Town of Halton Hills will be participating with everyone doing their bit to clean-up public spaces. "We like to lead by example so our Town employees are encouraged to help out. It is all voluntary, but we make it fun," said Mayor Bonnette.
