Hosted in partnership with the Geocachers of Eastern Ontario, nearly 70 volunteers worked together to clean-up pre-selected sites across the town of Greely in the City of Ottawa on April 27, 2019, collecting over 45 bags of garbage and recycling. Notable finds included an old car bumper, a metro news bin, and a barbeque.
