Cleaning Up Thain Road

As part of the Jr. Duke of Edinburgh program, the grade 8 class engages in community service projects each month. For February, the entire class went to work cleaning up our "neighbourhood." The students bussed out to a logging road behind Cobble Hill that has become a favourite local dumping ground. Split into teams, the class spent several hours hauling, digging and sleuthing their way through a mountain of garbage. Our thanks to the Interns and GAP students who helped make the day possible. We would also like to thank Waste Services Inc. for donating the dumpster and free hauling services and Mainroad Contracting who helped facilitate the removal of a large quantity of garbage.
