Hanlon Cleanup 2025
Water Street Church has been a partner with the Ministry of Transportation “Adopt a Highway” program for the past 22 years. This year, the cleanup is scheduled for Saturday May 24th, 2025 with a rain date of Saturday May 31st if required. We will meet at Water Street Church at 8:00 a.m. to receive vests, garbage bags and any last minute directions, and from there car pool to our respective zones. The actual work should only take about an hour and then we can meet for coffee at Horton’s on Speedvale Ave. If volunteers could, please bring a pair of gloves and a pair of boots as the grass can sometimes be wet. This is a wonderful time of Christian fellowship and a great opportunity to give back to our community. We would love to have some younger folks participate this year as our senior ranks are slowly ageing out of active duty. So, if you are 13 years of age or older and would like to bank some time for your high school volunteer hours, then this is a perfect opportunity. I will ensure you are adequately compensated. I will have a sign-up sheet at Church for the next 2 Sundays and would love to see your smiling face eagerly volunteering your time and talents. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. ~ Rob D.
Job Well Done! Hanlon Cleanup 2024
WSC has maintained its tradition of maintaining a stretch of the Hanlon Expressway. My heartfelt thanks to everyone that came out on May the 4th, 2024, to assist with the annual Hanlon Clean-up. This was an exceptional year for volunteers: thirty members of the congregation gave their time and effort to assist in this worthwhile venture. The rain thankfully held off, no-one got hurt and we were done in record time, (just under an hour). Many hands make light the work and we surely do appreciate the assistance you all provided in keeping our commitment to the Department of Transport and to the community we all take pride in. Until next year, God Bless and stay safe. Coordinator Rob Davis.
