Meet your Port Dalhousie Beautification & Works Committee at Historic Lock 1, 45 Lakeport Road to help clean up our downtown community in honour of Earth Day 2024.  Gloves, bags, etc. will be provided.  The more volunteers we get, the more ground we can cover.  This is a great event for the kids (supervised by parents).  Enjoy our local venues for some great food and beverages prior and post event.
