Adopt-a-Road
Help keep Georgian Bluffs clean and beautiful by joining the Adopt-A-Road Program. This volunteer program allows individuals, families, groups, and organizations to adopt a section of road and take responsibility for cleaning it up. It’s a great way to give back to the community and help the environment.
By adopting a road, you can help to:
- Protect the Environment: Help reduce litter and keep Georgian Bluffs’ roadsides clean.
- Show Community Pride: Be recognized for your efforts with a roadside sign featuring your name or group.
- Volunteer in Your Community: Perfect for families, schools, local businesses, and community groups looking for a way to give back.
