The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association is hosting a community clean-up on Friday, April 25, and is hoping UWindsor volunteers will want to pitch in.

The Rose City Clean Sweep brings together teams to remove litter from sidewalks, school grounds, vacant lots and alleys, says Debi Croucher, the association’s acting director.

“We believe that this is another great opportunity for the University of Windsor to demonstrate pride in our downtown,” she says. “The planned relocation of arts and social work programs to the heart of the city makes this a chance to build partnerships.”

The city government will provide gloves, waste bags and collection services; the business improvement association will serve coffee and doughnuts at the event start and pizza at its conclusion.

The clean-up runs 10 a.m. to noon; staff members interested in participating must seek the permission of their supervisors. To register your interest, e-mail Kevin Johnson in the Office of Public Affairs and Communications.
