Community Clean-up

Spring Cleaning Week 2026

We’ll set you up with everything you need. Clean‑up kits are available before the event, so whether you’re volunteering on your own, teaming up with friends, or collecting community service hours, you’ll be ready to make a real difference.

As a thank-you to our Spring Clean Week volunteers, participants will be entered into a draw to WIN one of three 10‑Visit Punch Cards for the Pryde Aquatic & Wellness Centre.

How to get involved:

• Volunteer: Sign up using the form below to clean up a park, beach, or community space. Simply fill out the form below with the date of your cleanup, location, and who will be joining you and we will prepare a cleanup kit for you. The kit includes garbage bags, gloves, and anything else you will need to collect litter.
• Spread the word: Challenge your crew! Invite your neighbours, teammates, coworkers, or classmates to take part. It’s a fun way to enjoy the outdoors, give back, and show your Saugeen Shores spirit. 

Please sign-up with your group no later than April 15 so that we can prepare your cleanup kit.
