A newly formed group of Hamilton residents spent the beautiful day outside, making sure their community was a bit cleaner.
The first Beautiful Alleys campaign kicked off today. More than 300 volunteers took a few hours out of their day cleaning over 50 alleyways in Hamilton.
Organizer Brenda Duke says it’s a way to build community and teach people how to get rid of their garbage properly. “It’s important because it’s our community, when it looks better, people feel better.”
“Part of our goal is that the alleys and laneways will get used by people, sort of like extended spaces to their property and kids can play and bike and all of those fun things.”
Duke says they also do a large clean-up in the fall.
