The start of fall has been a busy one here at CAFE, but we managed to set out on some of our regular community cleanup efforts! Our staff are highly dedicated to ensuring that the places we call home – Corso Italia, Bloor West, Harbord Village, Broadview & Danforth, and CityPlace – are clean, pleasant and safe for all residents to enjoy. Several times a year, our staff roll up their sleeves and take to the streets with cleaning supplies, aiming to make the neighbourhood better and cleaner.
Our fall community cleanup took place on Friday, Oct 11 – a cool but sunny day. It was the perfect day for our teams to go out and begin the hard work of making our streets better.
Here at CAFE, we are passionate about giving back to our community. This is why several times a year, our staff and volunteers get together and conduct regular cleanup events in the neighbourhoods our dispensary stores are located in. We welcome community volunteers to help in our efforts as well, but if none make it out, our team of staff are more than happy to continue with the work themselves.
Later that afternoon, it was time for our team at 104 Harbord to start their route!
The team from 104 Harbord set off along the main street, cleaning up litter and refuse from in front of neighbouring business fronts. They regularly clean up in front of residential homes as well that fall along their planned route. Our staff are always excited and happy to do this work and give back to the community.
As our staff cleaned, countless passers-by stopped to greet them, and say thank you for the good work our team was doing. We are humbled that our efforts are well appreciated by others in our community.
We are so grateful for our inspiring, hard working staff and all their efforts during these cleanups. Thank you to all who were involved in making our communities cleaner and safer for all!
