Hangin Out with the Heros

The Mercury called him an “Earth Day Hero!”

Ward 4 resident, Josh Cameron started the annual Castlebury Park Cleanup when he was only four years old because he was tired of seeing trash around his neighbourhood. This year the efforts of the 11 year old were assisted by almost two dozen volunteers who came out to clean up The West Silver Creek all the way from Castlebury Park to the West End Community Centre.

I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers who joined Josh and myself on what turned out to be an absolutely beautiful Saturday. Together we pulled almost three full pickup trucks of garbage out of the river valley.

I would also like to thank Fusion Homes who sponsored the event with much needed snacks and drinks as well as the City of Guelph who provided gloves, garbage bags and roadside pickup.

A great tribute to a great community.
