WINNIPEG A community cleanup, organized by the St. Boniface Citizens on Patrol Program, took to the streets on Saturday with a goal of improving community livability. This weekend’s event was the third one for the group, which saw them picking up garbage in Norwood Flats, the Marion Goulet corridor and down St. Mary’s Avenue. “The cleaner and better kept the community is, there’s more pride in the community,” said Paul Laporte, one of the coordinators for St. Boniface Citizens on Patrol Program. “More people get out and go for walks and be involved in the neighbourhood, which increases safety for everyone.”
