Cash for Clean Up in Spruce Grove

In recent months Cranbrook's Community Grants and the ability of groups to raise their own funds has come under scrutiny by Council.   It has been commented that too often groups seem to make grant applications or look for hand-outs rather than launch their own fund raising. It has also been said by many community groups that hot dog sales and bottle collection just does not produce the same result anymore, which is why they are forced to ask for hand outs.

Here is idea an worth considering from Spruce Grove.  We are fortunate in Cranbrook to have many who volunteer for Pitch In Week but Pitch in is only one week and it is impossible to cover the whole city and all of Joseph Creek so could something like this work for certain areas or for certain times or for another community project?

Non-profits have the chance to Spruce Up the city for cash.

    Interesting that no community groups have commented on this idea, especially when areas like Joseph Creek and Elizabeth Lake seem to attract garbage!!
