Please take your fishing line with you when you leave. Discarded fishing lines can cause serious harm to wildlife, like this goose found in @guelph.ca's Royal City Park that got tangled up. Let's protect our environment and the creatures that live in it! 🦢🌍

Good news! We've extended the deadline to register for this year's Clean and Green to March 28.

Grab a team and let’s see how many parks, trails and greenspaces we can clean this year. Parks in many areas of the city are still open for some community love. Register now. ow.ly/qZlu50VahU8
