In the words
of Grade 11 Ecole Ducharme student Bailee Johnson, “no one really likes to look
at garbage on the street.”
“(We want to)
get everyone involved and let them know the importance of cleaning up your
community and having pride in your community,” she said.
“Nobody likes
to see garbage lying on the ground,” added Grade 11 Vanier Collegiate student
Zach Owens.
On Tuesday,
Mayor Deb Higgins declared May as Pick it Up Month. Pick it Up Month is a
partnership between Beautif-i Moose Jaw, AXIS Youth, youth advisory committee
members, businesses of Moose Jaw, the second annual Schools Global Warning Art
initiative and the City of Moose Jaw. Owens and Johnson are members of the
youth advisory committee (YAC).
