The rain-or-shine event will have some town councillors present -- Pam Damoff and Tom Adams will be on hand to pitch in at various sites. Twelve local schools will also participate in the cleanup. As safety is one of the primary concerns for the event, the Town of Oakville is donating work gloves and garbage bags to the clean up. Residents are encouraged to watch out for hazards such as broken glass, syringes and sharp metal objects. "The cleanup will allow everyone to enjoy garbage-free parks and trails this spring and summer. The environment is everyone's responsibility and we can all do much more to better protect and enhance nature," said Di Paolo.
