Ottawa – Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital has begun with a bang!
Mayor Jim Watson, Councillor Keith Egli, Chair of Transportation Committee, and Christopher McClusky of Tim Hortons, launched the campaign today at the Overbrook Community Centre where onlookers were entertained by Offbeat, a musical dance group from the Glebe Collegiate Institute.
“For more than 20 years, Ottawa residents have been working together to improve their communities and keep our city clean and green,” said Mayor Watson. “Our volunteers are the driving force in making this campaign successful year after year.”
Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital is a city-wide event that brings together neighbours, communities and friends to help keep Ottawa clean and green. Last year alone, 80,000 volunteers collected almost 140,000 kg of litter from 1,400 locations. That’s enough to fill 150 garbage trucks.
“By removing litter from our parks, roadways, woodlots, shorelines and ravines, we are keeping it out of our eco-system,” said Councillor Egli, “making our city an even better place to live then it is already.”
The title sponsor was represented by Mr. McClusky, owner of a local Tim Hortons restaurant.
“Tim Hortons is committed to making a positive difference in the community,” said Mr. McClusky. “Through Cleaning the Capital, we can support Ottawa residents in cleaning up the areas where we live, work and play.”
