This initiative encourages students, teachers and staff to come together and take action by cleaning up their school grounds and surrounding areas. By organizing a cleanup led by a class, club or school-wide, participants are automatically entered into a draw for a chance to win a $1,000 gift card to the Outdoor Learning Store. Visit brampton.ca/cleanup to participate.
Imagine Your Impact
Imagine a cleaner, safer and more beautiful Brampton—where every small action adds up to a big difference. The Imagine Your Impact campaign empowers residents to take responsibility for their surroundings by properly disposing of waste, picking up after pets and respecting park guidelines.
Litter harms wildlife, pollutes waterways and damages parks. Brampton is on a mission to become Canada's first litter-free community, and your choices matter. Follow key regulations—no littering, smoking, alcohol or overnight camping—to help keep our parks clean and welcoming for all.
Join the movement. Imagine Your Impact and be part of a greener future! www.brampton.ca/imagineyourimpact
