More than 2,500 volunteers worked together to pick up trash from Calgary's parks, river banks and pathways Sunday morning, as part of the city's 51st annual Pathway and River Cleanup event. "The Pathway and River Cleanup is an important spring event. It brings thousands of people together to care for the environment, removing litter to clean our green spaces and water," said Calgary Parks volunteer supervisor Kirsten Pilger in a release. "My hope is that we collect less waste every year as more people work to keep Calgary clean year-round." Calgary provides free litter cleanup kits for those that want to host their own neighbourhood trash pickups.
