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. The Town of Innisfil Pitch-In Day Committee plans this annual event.
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.
Upcoming Pitch-In Day
Shout out to the nearly 5,020 student and community volunteers who made our 2023 Pitch-In Day a massive success! Thank you to our Pitch-In Day Committee for organizing the event, assembling clean-up kits, and hosting a fun barbecue with prizes and food for all to enjoy. Stay tuned for the next Pitch-In Day on Saturday, May 11, 2024.
