We will be meeting at the south end of the park, where the children's playground is. Parking is available along the side of roads: Deep Sea Dr. and South Lake Blvd. This is the second year that "Grupo Bimbo" has sponsored a P.A.L. event through their terrific “Good Neighbour Program”. This year we hope to leave a legacy behind: a "Lakelands Village Park P.A.L.s" neighbourhood group that will adopt the park and might even create Brampton's first "Litter-free Zone". So our goal this year is to involve as many neighbours in the area as possible and inspire some of them to create a local "P.A.L.s" group.
Like last year, "Grupo Bimbo" will be bringing their A-team looking for a challenge. So let's welcome them the P.A.L. way, with friendly smiles and wide open arms then - - make them work their butts off! lol!
We want this cleanup to be even more fun than our April 19 cleanup last year! I will guarantee warmer weather and no snow like we had last year.
There will be prizes, food and drinks and expect some surprises! Don't miss it!
Pickers will be loaned out and garbage bags supplied.
