"Support our friends from Harbord Village with the "Trash Flash"
The HVRA Clean-up Committee is pleased to announce the launch of its inaugural Harbord Village “Trash Flash” event on July 27, 2013.
The new “Trash Flash” events will serve as supplements to the HVRA Clean-up Committee’s 2 signature events: the “Litter and Glitter” galas held in April and November every year.
Unlike the “Litter and Glitter” galas, our Trash Flashes will be fast and furious “no-frills” affairs, and will consist of a flash mob gathering at 10 a.m. at the Second Cup at Lippincott and Bloor. The Trash Flash mob will then fan out across the Village and do a quick 30-minute clean-up. For each event, a special area will be chosen which will usually focus on one or more of our sponsors and community partners. On July 27, special focus will be given to the grounds of Central Tech and the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts and then will proceed across our main street on Harbord and elsewhere in the Village, depending on our numbers.
If you would like to be part of this inaugural event, please join your neighbours at 10 a.m. on July 27 at the Second Cup. The HVRA will provide bags and gloves. The Trash Flash will be over in 30 minutes or less. Volunteers are asked to bring their collected trash back to their homes for placement in their bins for regular curbside pick-up.
The next Trash Flash will be held in late September and the ARA will join forces with our neighbours to the south - date to be announced soon!
