This year’s community cleanup is starting today, and will be a social media challenge,

 

Thompson Mayor Colleen Smook says the city has been thinking of ways to boost volunteer participation for the cleanup, and figured a social media challenge would be a great way to get people motivated to help out.

 

Garbage bags and rubber gloves are available at the City Hall foyer, or you can call the Public Works office at 204-677-7970 to arrange a pick-up time.

 

Residents can submit their before-and-after pictures to communications@thompson.ca

 

The first week of the challenge is focussed on the downtown area, and bins have been placed at the Canadian Tire parking lot.
