Cleaning up along the Rideau River
On Sunday, in between rain showers (and an hour later thanks to daylight savings), I helped clean up New Edinburgh park with a bunch of community-driven folks. We had donuts and coffee to fuel our efforts! The park was much cleaner than their spring clean-up, and they have remarked that over time, the cleaner they leave it, the cleaner it stays. It was great to be a part of keeping my local park and river clean.
