Ian Ward is doing his part to keep Merritt tidy and presentable by spending his days picking up trash in unsightly areas, from the downtown core to ‘Gasoline Alley’ at the top of Voght St.
“Well, it started out, I retired,” explained Ward.
“And I had to do some exercising, I got bored, so I started walking. I enjoy walking, it’s one thing I can do still, and I started noticing the garbage, so I started picking a bit of this up.”
It didn’t take long for Ward to realize that this was an ongoing issue within the city, and he started to devote more and more time to the beautifying project. He became such a regular sight cleaning ditches, empty lots, streets, and parking lots that he began to attract some attention from other community members, including city councillor Mike Bhangu, who praised his efforts at a recent council meeting.
