Pitch-In Day
Join us for Pitch-In Day! We invite everyone in the community to help keep Innisfil clean by collecting litter from road edges, public trails, parks and road ends.
Following the recent ice storm, please be extra aware of your surroundings and do not venture into unsafe areas due to hanging branches and tree debris. For your safety, we recommend avoiding roads and greens spaces from Lockhart Road north to Big Bay Point while restoration efforts continue.
We ask that Pitch-In participants contact inquiry@innisfil.ca or 705-436-3710 to let us know where they have left garbage bags with debris. From there, Operations staff will come to collect it.
