The 2012 Operation Clean Sweep kicks of with Pitch-in Canada week from April 23 to 30 and the community is invited to participate.Sign up at the BICS main office starting Friday, April 20, pick up your official bag, and join in the campaign with your family. You can help to clean up our community by going on a family garbage-picking walk. You are welcome to send photos and a report of how much and where you cleaned up and we'll create a feature story sharing how much we've accomplished in our neighbourhoods, trails, roadways and beaches of Bowen Island.

The focus is on the appreciation of our environment, caring for our community and helping to clean-up garbage and litter and then sharing what we found.

Report back on what you thought about the garbage you found (or, hopefully, did not find.)

Tell us your stories about the worst, the heaviest, the most, the gross, the beautiful, the thing that made you laugh, and other observations and stories from your family pitch-in walk.

Every family will receive a certificate of participation. For more information, call 604 947-0389 or email [email protected].
