Acklands Grainger is sponsoring their annual community clean up called Twenty Minutes of Magic Friday.  Organizer Chad Plamondon says it’s a bigger event this year as it’s combined with the Northern Communities Cleanup so they need as many people as possible outside cleaning up. He says what’s up for grabs is a five thousand dollar prize for the community north of 53 that cleans up the most litter in their area and this is sponsored by the Manitoba Material Stewardship Recycling people.  He says all he needs is for people to register their team, get the registration form in with the area of town you’re cleaning up and they’ll get you the supplies you need to get out on Friday and clean up our town.

The event runs from 10 to noon Friday and you can register by calling 204-687-3451 or email plamondonc@agi.ca. The winner of the event’s Copper Earth Trophy last year was Hapnot Collegiate.
