The final Mission Possible event today involves over 650 elementary and secondary school students pitching in together to clean up our neighbourhoods on their way down to the Oliver Arena. Once they arrive students will enjoy entertainment, a garbage weigh-in to determine the total weight of garbage picked up as well as presentations about the environmental projects the students have been working on throughout the school year. Thanks to the financial support of local sponsors and the Community Food Action Initiative each student will dig in to a full salad bar lunch before heading back to school.

“This event will help teach the students about respect for the environment,” says Betty Lou Trimmer Bahnsen, these are our Green volunteers of the future”.
