Above: The Neepawa Rotary Club partnered with Neepawa Guiding Unit members on May 2 and 6 to do four miles of highway clean-up, west of Neepawa on Highway #16, from Ben’s Auto Body out to PTH 464 (Brookdale Road).

The Rotary members provided vehicles to transport people to various starting points and also to collect the filled bags. Larger items that would not fit in bags were also collected in a truck.  It’s estimated that over 467 kg. of garbage was collected, using the weight tickets from the waste disposal site. Rotarians Rrain Prior and Bob Durston presented Pathfinder Allison Curle and Leader Kay De’Ath with a cheque donation of $300, to be used for this year’s camping event in Spruce Woods.
