The MPCA Annual Community Clean-Up is this Sunday at the Sportsplex, and we’re looking for a few friendly neighbours to jump in and help make it all happen!

Our Green Initiatives Committee could use an extra set of hands (or a few!) to keep things running smoothly. It’s a great way to meet people, get involved, and be part of something positive in the community.

Got some time? Want to pitch in? We’d love to have you.

Reach out to Matt at [email protected] to get involved! ♻️
