Hans and Barb Colmorgan are at it again. This active and community minded couple have once again spent about 12 hours of their weekend doing a pre-Earth Day cleanup on Arthur Street and the 3rd Concession west to Manvers. The weather was nice, so they thought they’d head out and do some cleanup of the areas where they enjoy walking or cycling. “We picked up 11 bags on Arthur alone. Someone stopped and brought us some coffee, and another guy stopped, got out and offered us some lunch. There was a passenger in the backseat, maybe 8-10 years old, who said, ‘we want to thank you sir’,” stated Hans. Reports are that much household pet waste and construction materials were among the refuse collected, bagged and stored for the municipality to pick up. A small bonus: “we get about 14 or 15 dollars in empties and beer cans,” laughs Hans. There are many area cleanups scheduled. No doubt, as usual members of our communities will be out in force to do their bit to spring clean our streets and parks. Let’s hope Mother Nature cooperates with a fine forecast!
