Pathway and River Cleanup
The Pathway and River Cleanup is held every year in Calgary on the first weekend in May. The event is coordinated by The City of Calgary Parks with support provided by Waste & Recycling Services, Animal & Bylaw Services and the Calgary Fire Department.
The purpose of the Pathway and River Cleanup is to remove litter that has accumulated over the winter months along our pathways and river banks, but the event is about more than just picking up garbage. It’s about working together to keep our parks, pathways and shared spaces free of materials that could harm us, our environment and our city’s wildlife. It is also about sustainability, knowing our efforts today in keeping Calgary litter free will have a lasting effect on the health of our environment and the vibrancy of our city for many years to come.
