Pitch-In to help Strathcona County shine
April 20 to May 3, 2026

Pitch-In is a volunteer program that helps keep our community clean by caring for our parks, trails and green spaces after the spring thaw. Each year, families, individuals, sports teams and community groups are invited to pitch in by cleaning up a neighbourhood or park they enjoy.

How to get involved:

Join the kick-off event

Start early at Broadmoor Lake Park on April 19 from 1 to 3 p.m.

• Register in person

• Pick up free bags and swag

• Enjoy activities and treats

Register anytime

If you can't attend the event, submit a registration form by email to outdoor.liaison@strathcona.ca.

Participants can use their own garbage bags or pick them up for free at the kick-off event or the Recreation Parks and Culture administration office (2025 Oak Street) during regular business hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 4:30 p.m.

Clean up your space

Choose a park, trail or neighbourhood area and collect litter.

Leave bags for pickup

Place filled bags near a park entrance or garbage bin so our team can easily find them.

Report your results

Call 780-467-2211 or email recreation@strathcona.ca with:

• The number of bags collected

• Where the bags were left (for example, near a sign, landmark or garbage bin)

This information helps crews plan pickups and allows the County to track and celebrate community contributions.
