BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

The Pitch-In British Columbia campaign is a program where volunteers carry out clean-up projects in various
municipalities in B.C. The role of a municipality is to encourage groups and organizations to collect litter in
park, schoolyard, ravine, lake shore, beach and other similar areas.

The City has supported the Pitch-In British Columbia campaign since 1991 and the next campaign will be held
between May | - 7, 1995. Many local groups and organizations have supported this campaign in the past. The
Pitch-In British Columbia campaign is a terrific mechanism for local groups and organizations to participate in
cleaning up local parks, schoolyards and ravines. Pitch-In Week campaign materials (i.¢, informations, garbage
bags, etc.) will be provided to participating groups and organizations through the City.

It is recommended that Council support the Pitch-In British Columbia carapaign and contribute $725.00 for this

purpose. a
