Whether you’re organizing a small neighbourhood effort or a larger event, we’re here to support you. Here’s how to get started:
Plan Your Clean-Up
Choose a location in Fort Erie that could use some TLC (parks, beaches, trails).
Select a date and time that works for your group. Morning events are often ideal.
Register Your Event and Gather Supplies
Send your clean up details to the Manager of Recreation and Facilities Kristina Clint at kclint@forterie.ca
This ensures the town can provide support, supplies, and guidance.
The Town will provide supplies including gloves and garbage bags.
Set Rules & Safety Guidelines
All volunteers are required to wear appropriate clothing and protective gear
Avoid hazardous items (broken glass, sharp metals, etc.)
Report any dangerous materials to town staff.
Make sure everyone stays hydrated and takes breaks as needed.
Volunteers will be required to sign a waiver and review the safety guidelines provided by the Town.
Promote Participation
Spread the word on social media, in community newsletters, and through local schools.
Encourage neighbours and friends to participate and make it a fun, collaborative effort!
