Litter Blitz participants can enter for a chance to win a prize by sharing a photo of themselves, their family, friends, or organization picking up litter around the community, and tag the City on Facebook or Instagram. Available prizes include the following:

• One-night stay in a comfort cabin at Gas City Campground
• One-night stay in a campsite at Gas City Campground
• Family day passes to Big Marble Go Centre

Litter Blitz supplies can also be picked up weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Parks and Recreation office at 88 Kipling Street all season, as well as Police Point Park Interpretive Centre and Big Marble Go Centre during Litter Blitz week.

This year’s Litter Blitz campaign concludes with a Thank You BBQ. Join the City Saturday, May 3 from 12 to 2 p.m. at Police Point Park for a fun BBQ to recognize the hard work and community contributions of this year’s participants.
