Last Friday the sixth annual Grange Park cleanup proved to be a huge success. This year the AGO partnered with the Ontario College of Art and Design and University Settlement, and the cleanup included Butterfield Park, underneath the OCAD tabletop.
- 3 – organizations that partnered to get the job done
- 60– number of small garbage bags turned in between 2 and 3 pm
- 120 – number of people who showed up to help, plus 3 dogs
- 4 – large bags of garbage filled
- 7 – dozen cookies eaten
- 1 – TV Station (City TV) who came out to interview participants
Most interesting garbage finds: one Barbie shoe, and one umbrella stand!
Grange Park cleanup is held each year in conjunction with Mayor Miller’s Community Cleanup day. This initiative is a great opportunity to connect with our neighbours and show community pride for Toronto’s key downtown park.
