Garden Street resident Gaëtan Raby brough members of his community together by organizing a clean up to remove garbage along the street and the ditches. Raby says he hopes that this clean up will encourage others in the community to create similar events on their streets. The April 15 event brought a few families together to help clean. Le Magazin General and the Tim Hortons on Vanier donated snacks for those participating. The city-wide big cleanup is slated for Saturday, May 14 from 9 am to 11:30 am (see Page 21).
