We're organizing a community event this Sunday as part of the City's "Fall Cleaning the Capital" initiative.
Recently Bells Corners has received some bad press.
Randall Denley called it "bleak, bizarre and dodgy" and the Citizen had a front page photo of the derelict Vox building. The people who live here think Bells Corners is a great place and we're proud of our community.
We've organized a "litter-picking parade" as our City-sponsored Fall Cleaning the Capital event. We hope to have kids on decorated bicycles, teenagers on skateboards, senior citizens walking their dogs and lots of other residents who are anti-litter.
We've also invited the mayor, Councillor Chiarelli and all of the candidates running in Nepean-Carleton.
Parade route (Sun. Oct. 12):
10:00 Westcliffe Park
10:30 Price Choppers
11:00 Tim Hortons
11:30 Williams Park
12:00 Lynwood Park
12:30 Hillside Park
At Lynwood Park (7 Sycamore) the community building will be open for free coffee and food, activities for the kids, etc.
Thanks!

Once we've finished the parade route we will have made a serious dent in the litter problem but more importantly, we will have had some fun!
It may also give people a chance to meet their local Bells Corners politicians.
Our MPP Lisa MacLeod has promised to get out of her SUV and don the latex gloves.
Our MP PottyMouthPierre has promised to supervise in person his bussed-in-from-Smiths-Falls supporters who will pick up all red, green and orange litter.
Our councillor Rick Chiarelli has indicated he will show up to chat with his good buddies from the trailer park.
Throw in a pack of NDPers and a small army of Green supporters led by their Citizen-endorsed candidate and we've got ourselves a convoy!
