To play an active role in the Clean Up Australia events, the Lions Club of Canterbury Bankstown initiated a project to clean up the areas surrounding Flinders Slopes near Lake Gillawarna in Lansdowne. The event, which took place on March 4, 2023, was a resounding success, thanks to the efforts of the club members and the local community.
The project was spearheaded by Lion Simon, who worked closely with the Clean Up Australia campaign organizers to ensure a smooth and efficient cleanup operation. The club members were enthusiastic about participating in the event, and a good number showed up to help with the cleanup. As they walked along the lake and park, they collected garbage and debris, including plastic bottles, cans, and food wrappers.
The Lions Club members were not alone in their efforts, as some of the children of the club members also joined in the campaign. These young volunteers were eager to help out, and they worked hard to clean up the area and sort the rubbish into recyclable and non-recyclable bags.
The club members’ contributions to the Clean Up Australia campaign were commendable, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. The organizers of the event were grateful for the Lions Club’s assistance, and they were impressed by the amount of garbage that the club members collected. The bags of garbage collected were handed over to the organizers of the campaign, who disposed of them in an environmentally-friendly manner.
The Lions Club of Canterbury Bankstown’s participation in the Clean Up Australia campaign was a testament to their commitment to community service and environmental stewardship. The club members’ dedication to protecting the environment and preserving the natural beauty of the area is an inspiration to others, and it is a shining example of the good that can be achieved through community involvement.
Overall, the Clean Up Australia event was a great success, and the Lions Club of Canterbury Bankstown is proud to have played a part in it. The club members enjoyed the morning walk while making a positive impact on the environment, and they look forward to participating in similar initiatives in the future.
