CLEAN UP: Mary Greene and Jerica Young-Greene are caught getting into the clean-up spirit during the Vanderhoof Community Cleanup Saturday, April 18.
Tidying up the town Rebecca Watson Omineca Express Bottles, bags, cans and gum, picking up garbage proved lots of fun, at the seventh annual Vanderhoof Community Cleanup. Residents gathered at Riverside Park the morning of April 18 as volunteers handed out gloves, garbage bags and
free t-shirts. The Nechako Waste Reduction Initiative event cleanses the town each year and uses the day to raise awareness of recycling, Vince Terstappen, sustainability coordinator said. “It’s hard to believe its the seventh year already. It makes quite a difference in the community from before and after although, this year seems to have less litter which is great. The kids might feel bad if they don’t fill up their bag but its a good thing,” Terstappen joked. “It’s a great result to have
people littering less and the cleanup is just a bonus. The NWRI looks after the recycling bins at the Vanderhoof waste transfer station and in the past couple years have organized a few small film screenings of waste related movies. They work with the Food Network on green events and on helping community groups make their events green by using local food and having little waste as possible. Continued on page 2
