GLEN ABBEY UNITED CHURCH REV. TED VANCE 1469 Nottinghill Gate, Oakville 905-825-5292 www.glenabbeyunitedchurch.com A record 60 sites across Oakville were cleaned of debris, and a record amount of garbage and metal was collected during the 31st annual "Earth Day Clean Up," organized by the Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights. A total of 7.1 metric tons of garbage and .86 metric tons of metal were trucked away by Miller Waste Sys- tems on April 23, with a to- tal weight of 17,550 pounds. There was also a record number of volunteers -- 1,200 -- who participated in the clean up, joining the tens of thousands of resi- dents who have joined the event over the past three decades. The five goals of the campaign are to promote awareness and respect for nature and Oakville's many waterways, beautify local neighbourhoods, build community through environmental activism, protect wildlife and in- crease awareness of the need to protect biodiversity in Oakville. In Ward 1, there were seven sites cleaned up in- cluding Bronte Bluffs Park, Bronte Creek Provin- cial Park, Bronte Harbour, Bronte Road and the QEW carpool, Burloak Drive and QEW, Lakeshore Woods and Valleyridge Park. In Ward 2, there were 12 sites including Aldercrest Park, Burnet Street Park, Coronation Park, Glen Oak Creek Trail North, Forster Park and Hogs Back Park, Hopedale Park, Indian Ridge Trail, Kinoak Arena and Brook Valley Park, Valleywood Court and Woodhaven Park. The Old Abbey Lane Park Clean Up was postponed. Ward 2 also convened the first-ever afternoon lo- cation with volunteers helping tidy up the green spaces at the North Service Road West and Kerr Street North site. Ward 3's eight sites in- cluded Busby Park, Clear- view Park and area, Dun- vegan Park, Gairloch Gar- dens, Lakeside Park, Maple Grove Park, Oakville Curl- ing Rink and Georges Square and Perkins Pas- sage (also Post Park, Maple Valley Park and the Corn- wall Sports Park). Ward 4 hosted 13 sites in- cluding Glen Abbey Trail, Castlebrook Park, Glen Oak Creek Trail North, Heritage Way Park, Lang- try Park, Millstone Park, Nottinghill Park, Ravine at Third Line and Upper Mid- dle Road, Sixteen Hollow Park, Sandpiper Road and Pheasant Lane, Summit Ridge Drive Trails, West Oak Trails Park and Wood- gate Woods. Ward 5 had seven sites including Harman Gate Park, Memorial Park, Munns Creek Park and Margot Street Park, Oak Park Walk at Memorial Park, Oxford Park, River Glen Park and Sheridan College trails. There were 10 sites in ward six including Algrove Park, Bayshire Woods Park and Pinery Pond, Forest Glade Park, Glenashton Drive bridge and ravines, Glenashton Park and Iro- quois Ridge Community Centre, Iroquois Shoreline Woods, Litchfield Park, Sheridan Hills Park, The Brownstones and Valley- brook Park. And in Ward 7 in north Oakville, there were four sites including Glenorchy Conservation Area, Isaac Park, Lions Valley Park and Palermo Park. Items cleared from the sites included everything from masks and mattress springs, to bicycles and construction materials. This year's cleanup was sponsored by Oakville's Parks and Open Space De- partment, Halton Region Waste Management, many local businesses, seven res- ident associations, faith groups and community or- ganizations.
