Clean and Green Parks and Community Clean-up

Guelph’s annual spring clean up

Each year over 1,700 volunteers including families, friends, community organizations, businesses, and school groups participate in a spring community clean-up helping to make our parks and neighbourhoods more beautiful, and protecting our rivers, streams, drinking water and local wildlife.
