On Sat., April 25, 2026 the local Optimists and Lions joined forces; with the entire community for another very successful: "Team Up to Clean Up event".

Some 229 bags of trash were removed from our roadways and parks; in addition to the 26.5 pounds of garbage the students from Dutton Dunwich Public School gathered earlier in the week.

Simultaneously; the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority was in site handling out free trees for planting,

Over 100 free hotdogs and drinks were handed out to the participants courtesy of the Lions & Dutton Foodland.

The Optimists also supplied a huge number of gifts & prizes to help THANK all those who made such a positive impact!

This annual event really does have an immediate; positive impact.

"Well Done!"
