Thank you to everyone who participated in the Annual Carbonear Clean Up Day this Saturday.

There was a fantastic turnout as we cleaned up our community.

We’d also like to thank the Carbonear Volunteer Fire Department, the 589 Air Cadets and the Carbonear Special Events Committee.

It took many hands to help clean up during the Annual Carbonear Clean Up Day but every day we should strive to keep our community clean!

Thank you!

It’s Environment Week this week!

Everyone can take action to help preserve, protect and restore our environment.

Carbonear Annual Clean Up Day is coming up this Saturday, June 8th!

Please keep in mind when cleaning up to not disrupt animals in their natural habitat. Our trails crew started this week. Check out the photos of some of the nests that they have come across while working on the trails.

Every action, no matter how small, can make a big difference in helping our environment!
