The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) is hosting volunteer Pitch-In community cleanup events as part of National Volunteer Week and Earth Day initiatives.

Each year, Canadian communities gather to participate in Pitch-In projects by cleaning up streets, parks, and public spaces. This fun and interactive event provides volunteers the opportunity to rejuvenate local neighbourhoods.

Events will take place in the following communities:

• Kaleden (Area “I”) Saturday, April 13, 2024, at 9:00 am. Meet at Kaleden Community Hall, 320 Lakehill Road.
