KAMLOOPS – The City of Kamloops can resume its Adopt-A-Road/Trail program on Tuesday (June 1) after being suspended the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since its inception in the 1980s, the Adopt-A-Road/Trail program encourages organizations, clubs and citizens to assist City staff in keeping Kamloops clean, and helping the environment by volunteering their labour to pick up litter and debris along street frontages and nature park trails. This helps the City staff provide a higher level of service.
Currently, 127 groups and individuals with the program are associated with 38 trails and 50 kilometres of municipal roads. Volunteers take stewardship of their adopted section of at least one kilometre of roadway or one trail within a city nature park.
Roadside safety supply kits are provided by the City and trash pickup is arranged by the Civic Operations department. Volunteer groups are asked to comply with B.C.’s public health guidelines when doing cleanups.
