Pitch-In campaign begins April 21
Pitch-In Canada Week is a community cleanup and beautification campaign that benefits our community as a whole.
Through the effort of many volunteers, each year, tons of litter and debris is removed from parks, ravines, neighbourhoods, streets, schools and public areas including in and around business premises. In 2009, over 4,300 projects were completed in BC municipalities representing a $4 million donation in labour made by our Pitch-In volunteers.
The City of Cranbrook’s annual Pitch-In campaign is under way for another year and runs from April 21 – 27.
All of the schools within the City of Cranbrook have been actively involved in cleaning up their school yards each year with loads of Pitch-In bags being collected. Several local clubs, organizations, Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce members, Downtown Business Association and other citizens have been supportive of this program.
The 20-Minute Makeover
As part of Cranbrook’s Pitch-In Week Campaign, this activity is designed to increase participation by encouraging business owners and citizens to take 20-minutes and spruce up the area around their business or home. Twenty minutes can make a difference! A clean and litter-free community can attract tourism and promote economic activity, as well as encourage a sense of pride amongst citizens.
Please help do your part by registering yourself, your business or organization with Leisure Services as a participant in this year’s Pitch-In campaign. Call 250-489-0220 today and we will provide you with bags; as well you will be eligible for some great prizes!
