Downtown Lumby is cleaner than ever thanks to a handful of volunteers.
Coun. Randal Ostafichuk rallied about 15 people to pick up garbage and cigarette butts in the downtown area Tuesday, July 17.
“We gathered the better part of a garbage can full of trash, a bucket full of recyclables and almost half a bucket of cigarette butts,” Ostafichuk said. “(I was) glad to see more kids than adults lending a hand, even with the crazy heat.”
The purpose of the cleanup, Ostafichuk said, was a last minute tidying in anticipation of the judges tour for Communities in Bloom.
