‘’Keeping our islands clean and green is everyone’s responsibility,’ says Chamber CEO Wil Pineau. ‘’We are encouraging all residents who care about the environment and want to make a difference in their communities to take a few hours of their time to remove litter from our streets and communities”.   

The Chamber has organized this annual community cleanup along with corporate and community partners for 25 years. It is an opportunity for sharing educational information about sustainable environmental and business practices. The Chamber is also sharing tips for reducing your carbon footprint and preserving and protecting marine and natural environments by reducing, reusing, and recycling. 

Following the cleanup there will be a brunch for all registered volunteers, sponsored by RBC and the Ministry of Tourism and Ports.
