We are already looking forward to spring!

Prince George residents are invited to pitch in with their friends and neighbours to give the city an old- fashioned post-winter tidying during the Annual Spring Clean Up!  We are excited to have you work alongside friends and neighbours on Sunday, April 26, 2026 to pick up litter in our parks, school yards, and along streets and trails. Last year we worked together to remove 5,830 kilograms of litter from our parks, trails, and streets. Let's try and beat that in 2026!
