The Cleaning the Capital fall campaign has hit a high note for 2019, and registration only ends on October 15.
Since the September 15 registration start date, the fall campaign has already registered 347 projects, eclipsing last year’s total of 303.
A special group worked in harmony to help this fall’s cleanup effort. It was the internationally renowned musical touring group, Up With People. For more than 50 years, generations of young people have been part of this travelling group who use their vocal talents and actions to empower other young people to make their community and world a better place for everyone.
The group took time out from their Ottawa music tour to help clean the capital, working around the Britannia Park area on October 3 and Mooney’s Bay on October 7.
