LOWER SACKVILLE: More than 50 people from the Sackville area community turned out to help the Sackville Rivers Association get the trash out of the river.

Along the Sackville Greenway, the volunteers from the community — young and old- gathered and picked up a lot of the garbage.

The community cleanup is an annual event and sadly the pile of garbage picked up seems to get bigger each year.

Here is our video story from the event, where we also speak with organizers form the Sackville Rivers Association.

Councillor Billy Gillis, former councillor Paul Russell, and former MLA Steve Craig were among those who were also at the cleanup helping out.
