The Vision
Canon City Community Clean-Up Day
Date: April 26, 2025
Join us for a day dedicated to beautifying our town, fostering community spirit, and taking pride in our local environment. The Canon City Community Clean-Up invites all residents to participate in clearing trash and debris from our streets, parks, and river pathways to ensure our town shines for all to enjoy.
Key Details:
- Focus Areas: Streets throughout the city, Skyline Drive, the Arkansas River trails, and other communal areas.
- Volunteer Opportunities: We need volunteers of all ages and abilities to help with cleaning. Whether you're a group leader, a driver for debris collection, or on the ground picking up litter, your participation will make a significant difference.
- Special Assistance: If you are a resident who needs help cleaning your yard or personal space, volunteers are here to help. Please contact us ahead of time to arrange assistance—your privacy and property rights will be fully respected.
- Support Stations: Refreshment and first aid stations will be set up to ensure all volunteers are hydrated and comfortable throughout the day.
This event is an opportunity to come together as a community, meet your neighbors, and contribute to the well-being of our beautiful town. Let's all roll up our sleeves, enjoy the spring weather, and make a lasting impact on our environment.
