Love Your Lakes Cleanup at Doctors McLean District Park

Join A Greener Future’s Team on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, at Doctors McLeans District Park in Vaughan for an unforgettable afternoon of community impact!

The Love Your Lakes litter cleanup program is your chance to be a superhero for our environment, rallying together to safeguard the beauty of our lakes and surrounding areas.

The adventure kicks off at 3:00 PM, where we’ll arm ourselves with litter pickers, buckets, and boundless enthusiasm to tackle litter head-on. Together we’ll ensure every piece of trash finds its way into our bags, leaving our park pristine and picture-perfect.

But it’s not just about cleaning up; it’s about making connections with fellow nature enthusiasts who share our dedication to the environment. Whether you’re a seasoned eco-warrior or dipping your toes into environmental activism for the first time, everyone is welcome!

Since 2016, A Greener Future’s Love Your Lakes program has removed a staggering 1 million pieces of litter from our cherished Lake Ontario shores with the help of volunteers. Now, it’s your turn to be part of this impactful legacy.

So, mark your calendars and spread the word! Together, we’ll show our lake some much-needed love, leaving a lasting imprint of care and commitment for generations to come.

Don’t forget to register early, as space is limited, and remember, every hand makes a difference! Plus, high school students can earn valuable community service hours by joining our cleanup crew.

Get ready to make waves of change – see you there!
