First Annual Leaside Arena Spring cleanup

The board and staff at Leaside Memorial Community Gardens hosted their first annual cleanup on Sunday, April 28 sponsored by The Leaside Pub and Starbucks.

Over 30 volunteers participated. First, the parking lot and grassy areas around the perimeter of the arena were cleaned up. The group then moved north on Laird to clean up the commercial areas and public spaces. Sara and her team from Starbucks at Laird and Eglinton continued the work, and cleaned between Millwood and Eglinton.

Below is a sampling of pictures from the very successful event.
