Help build community pride and teamwork on Saturday, May 5 during the Community Spring Clean Up throughout the Town of Essex.

“There’s no better way to gather as a community than with a little bit of spring cleaning,” said Doug Sweet, Director of Community Services. “Taking pride in our residential properties and downtown areas is an important step towards strengthening our community.”

Residents are asked to meet at one of four key locations at 9:30am on Saturday, May 5 to pick up complimentary gloves, bags, and maps. The event will be an organized cleanup, followed by a free lunch at each location to thank participants for their hard work.

All four urban centres in the Town of Essex are participating in this event, rain or shine. The key locations are:

Colchester Centre:     Colchester Park (100 Jackson Street)

Essex Centre:             Train Station and Heritage Gardens Park (87 Station Street)

Harrow Centre:           Harrow and Colchester South Community Centre (243 McAffee Street)

McGregor Centre:      McGregor Community Centre (9571 Walker Road)

The event is also a great chance for high school students to gain their required community service hours. Clean-up leaders will be on-site at each location to sign off on hours.

Everyone welcome!

On July 12 through 14, 2018, we are looking for volunteers to help Windsor/Essex County Humane Society by taking to the streets to collect donations for our Strays on Streetcorners campaign. This donation drive helps us to raise the funds essential to continuing our humane efforts throughout Windsor | Essex County.

As a non-profit organization, the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society relies on the support of volunteers, schools, community organizations and businesses to help increase visibility and public reach in our fundraising campaigns. We are looking for volunteers to help us with this  fundraising effort.

All funds raised go directly toward supporting:

- The fight against animal cruelty with our Cruelty Investigations program.

- Providing medical treatment for animals in need, including our Pumpkin Fund, which helps to save animals in desperate need of urgent surgeries and extensive medical care.

- Educating the community through our Humane Education program.

- Operating our public spay/neuter clinic, which offers low cost surgeries to members of our community, which in turn helps to control the animal population.

- Maintaining our adoption programs that find animals their forever homes.

Your support and participation in our fundraising efforts are greatly appreciated by the staff, volunteers and animals here at the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society. If you have any questions at all, please contact me directly at 519-966-5751 ext.21 or volunteer@windsorhumane.org.
