Saturday June 3rd and Sunday June 4th
9:00am – 11:30am

**If we get enough volunteers for Saturday clean up there is a good chance we won’t need to come back on Sunday. Please check facebook/our website for updates on the Sunday event before driving out there in the morning.

We meet at 9am and go for a few hours, please make sure you dress for the weather and we would advise AGAINST sandals or shorts/capri pants as the grass gets pretty long and dirty. Please also be advised that Alberta Transport requires volunteers for the highway cleanup to be at least 9 years of age.

Our section of the QE II is the east side of the road, just north of Highway 625.
Meeting Location:
South end of the Sparrow Drive Service Road in Nisku at the cul-de-sac just south of the Blackjacks Roadhouse. When you turn into the dirt road, Blackjacks is in front of you, turn left to the end of that road where the billboards are.
GPS: 53.338802,-113.544435 http://goo.gl/maps/Rdxuh

In the fall, some building work was taking place and this area was being developed. If we can’t park here, the please find a spot in Blackjack’s parking lot and walk towards this area instead.

Garbage Bags

Ski pole, or stick with nail on end to pick up garbage
