The towns of Black Diamond and Turner Valley are asking volunteers to come out and help with the annual Sheep River and Friendship Trail cleanup on Saturday, September 17th from 9:00am to 12 noon. This event will also be held in conjunction with a national eco-friendly initiative, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. “The hard work that goes into every cleanup results not only in cleaner communities, but it also contributes to our larger goals of conservation, stewardship and increased volunteer involvement,” says Monique LeBlanc, Community Services Manager for the Town of Turner Valley.
Volunteers from both communities are asked to register at the Scott Seaman Sports Rink in Black Diamond starting at 8:45am for their work assignments.
A volunteer appreciation BBQ will be served around noon by the Foothills Lions Club after all the work is done. Eco-friendly door prizes and displays will also be a part of the morning's activities. Sponsors of this event include the Town of Turner Valley, the Town of Black Diamond, Country Food Mart – AG Foods, Foothills Lions Club, Turner Valley Family and Community Support Services and Diamond Valley Disposal.
