Time: 9 am to noon
What to bring: gardening gloves and hand tools
 
Please send any questions to info@lowertown-basseville.ca.

The third annual Bordeleau Park cleanup will take place in the morning of Saturday, May 9th.

Residents in the River Wedge and other parts of Lowertown will join with Causeway workers and Magmic employees to collect garbage and to assess any needs for park maintenance. Causeway workers will be invited in order to collect items related to drug use. 

Magmic, a mobile social games and entertainment company located on York Street, is a city-recognized Friend of Bordeleau. Causeway is a not-for-profit agency that empowers and supports people in overcoming disabilities and other challenges to help them find rewarding work and live more independently.
