NEWS RELEASE - Distributed March 12, 2015 3:29 PM
Summary
The City of Nanaimo is inviting registered non-profit groups to participate in a City wide litter picking program. The Cleaner Community Partnership program will help groups raise funds and gain recognition while making Nanaimo a cleaner, more attractive community.
The 2015 program is available for a limited number of registered non-profit groups. Approved groups will be offered opportunities to pick up litter along community streets twice in 2015, once in spring and once in fall.
