City Cancels Spring Clean Day for Strathcona

The city of Vancouver has decided that it will not sponsor the local area clean up that it has sponsored in the past for those in Strathcona homes.

In previous years the city has sent garbage trucks to the foot of McLean Park where local area residents were encouraged to use the day as a chance to clean up the neighbourhood.

Any mattresses, wood, cupboards, or other garbage could be brought to the trucks and loaded up for disposal.

Local residents are upset by the cities lack of support for an area cleanup and are encouraged to write a letter to the city to tell them why it should not be canceled.
