Downtown Simcoe Business Improvement Area (BIA) pitched in June 8th with family and community volunteers to help clean up the downtown, knowing every contribution can have a big impact.

“It’s a good way for us to work with the community, making the downtown look better and cleaner for everyone,” said Les Anderson, Simcoe BIA co-ordinator, who joined volunteers picking up litter.

“This is an annual cleanup that we do for the downtown in the Simcoe BIA area. We usually have some volunteers and our board members, people like that. 

“We’ve got Indwell participating this year, which is nice. They’ve got quite a group of volunteers out. And it’s a good way for students to get community service hours.”

Downtown Simcoe Business Improvement Area plans to continue cleaning up this summer for the good of the entire community, partnering with NACL (Norfolk Association of Community Living) to do ‘street maintenance’ twice a week.

“They’ll be pitching in and helping us with that. It’s good for us and it’s good for them – it’s a great partnership.”
