Keep Gates Clean!
In Gates there is a wonderful initiative called Keep Gates Clean. Every Saturday they pick up garbage along roads in a selected part of Gates, moving to new sections each week. I applaud their efforts, and if I could join them during their scheduled times I would. But not able to do so, I decided to do my own garbage pickup. I went along a section of Downsview Drive, including a drainage ditch, a fence that runs along the road, and a few front yards. I picked up two bags of garbage. It does not measure up to how much the good folks at Keep Gates Clean do each week, but it helps. I urge more people to mount similar efforts in their own neighborhoods to help keep our Town clean!
