The Waste Management Department and the Kahnawake Environment Protection Office are initiating a community-wide contest to kick off Earth Month. From April 1st to April 30th, community members are called upon to help make our community litter-free.

All participants will be entered into a draw to win prizes, including a kayak, Shop Kahnawake gift certificates, a custom printed Kanienkehaka Onkwawenna Raotitiohkwa Language and Cultural Center skateboard, and a basket of low-waste and organic biodegradable items.

How to participate:

1. Use the Kahnawake Cleanup Tracker to identify local areas that need to be cleaned.
2. Clean up the location.
3. Take a picture of the cleaned location and submit it.
4. Check out the Kahnawake Environment Protection Office  website here for more ways to get involved.

Let′s work together to keep our community clean, not only for a month, but for a lifetime. Our collective actions today will shape a healthier environment for the next generations and the natural world we share this earth with. Imagine a community where litter is a thing of the past and nature thrives. That′s the future we can create together.
