It’s that time of year again for groups, organizations, business, friends and neighbors to start thinking about getting together to clean up Prince Albert and participate in the annual litter pick up Pitch-In Week. The 2022 Pitch-In campaign has been set for Monday, May 2 to Saturday May 7, 2022.

People are strongly encouraged to get a group together and register with Pitch-In Canada. By registering groups can get bags shipped for free for their event.

Groups can register by visiting http://pitch-in.ca/.  The national organization has put together a website that maps events across Canada. By registering, you can have free Pitch-In bags shipped to you directly. Further details are also available at http://citypa.ca/pitch-in including information regarding safe needle pick up.
