Community Clean Ups the Focus as we observe Earth Day 2022

It's Earth Day today, 24 hours to consider our footprint on the planet and how we may improve the situation on the only planet we have to call home. 

Towards local observations, there are two Community clean ups of note for residents of the Prince Rupert/Port Edward area to keep in mind.

Tonight, Positive Prince Rupert - Civic Pride are hosting a community Clean Up, with a 6PM gathering at the City Hall Fountain, they are hoping to see enough volunteers to tackle an area for clean up from City Hall and Safeway along both Second and Third Avenues.
