The City of Steinbach has announced that the community’s annual Pick up and Walk clean-up event is set to take place on Saturday, May 5, 2018 in Steinbach (Rain date is May 12). The event is a collaborative effort between Steinbach churches and the City, and is a great community building event that families look forward to participating in each year.
Since 2004, Steinbach churches have been organizing hundreds of volunteers every spring to help beautify the city by picking up garbage along the streets and in the ditches and parks. Pick Up ‘n’ Walk has become a great tradition in the City. It is recognized by many other communities as a progressive way to build pride in the City through personal action.
Anyone wanted to participate is asked to meet at the T.G. Smith Arena in Steinbach on May 5 at 9am. From there volunteers will be dispatched in groups and supplied with maps, routes and garbage bags. People are encouraged to wear rubber boots, gloves and to dress for the weather. A thank-you lunch will be provided free of charge at the arena around noon.
The City notes that it appreciates all of the event organizers and recognizes the support of participating churches who truly are the backbone of this wonderful event.
