The River Oaks Recreation Centre, Shannon Creek Trail, and the Heritage Trail are a few of the places in north central that are set for cleaning. Trails in the area will also be cleaned, along with College Park. Fourth Line and Burnhamthorpe Road will also be the site of the 4th annual Country Side Clean Up. The North East sector will have seven locations to clean up along with green space at Trafalgar Road and Glenashton Drive. The areas being targeted are Algrove Park (join Councillor Tom Adams), Falgarwood Pool, Pondview Place, Winston Woods (join Sponsor, Print Infinity), and Sheridan Valley Park. Members of the Trafalgar Presbyterian Church and the Oakville Phoenix soccer team are set to clean up Morrison Valley North. One small change has been implemented this year and could have a large impact. In the previous years, refreshments were supplied to participants during the clean up. This year, people are asked to bring their own refreshments in reuseable plastic containers in an effort to minimize waste produced by the activity. The Earth Week Clean Up has become an annual staple in Oakville, drawing new participants every year and seeing many returning volunteers.
