Strathcona Community Policing Centre Neighbourhood Cleanup
Strathcona Community Policing Centre Neighbourhood Cleanup
Who
Rotaract Vancouver Young Professionals, the Strathcona CPC, and Vancouver Police Department cadets.
What
We’re joining the Strathcona Community Policing Centre and VPD cadets for the annual Wayne Nelson Memorial cleanup. The cleanup honours Nelson, a prominent member of the business community who was passionate about local charity.
Where
UPDATED: Meet at Maclean Park. The Strathcona CPC will be set up on the northwest corner at Hawks Avenue and Keefer Street. Please look for the organization’s tents.
When
November 26th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Why
The cleanup serves a particularly vulnerable part of our community, the Downtown Eastside. It’s also a particularly interesting cleanup because it’s the Wayne Nelson Memorial cleanup.
How
During the cleanup, you’ll be asked to cover a specific area. You’ll be provided with cleaning equipment (tongs, pickers, bags, etc.), so you just need to show up. However, you may want to bring gloves, a high-visibility vest, etc. Let Amrit know if you’d like to join so that he can arrange for you to get equipment and be put into a group. Contact Amrit at 604-353-5632 or amritran3@gmail.com.
