Glebe Gets a Spring Refresh with Help from the Ottawa REDBLACKS
Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and joined us on Friday, April 25 for this year’s Cleaning the Capital event.
In partnership with the Ottawa REDBLACKS and Campanale Homes, we were proud to bring together over 25 volunteers who helped pick up litter and freshen up streets throughout The Glebe. Their efforts made a visible impact, and we’re grateful for the time and energy everyone brought to the day.
As part of our Spring Clean the Glebe business initiative, The Glebe BIA provided complimentary window cleaning to 10 local businesses, helping them shine just in time for the busy spring season. We also supported a signage refresh project in collaboration with the talented team at Sunny Street Studio.
A special thank you goes out to Bloomfields Glebe and Capital Home Hardware, who launched custom spring promotions to support our business community during the event.
From beautification to local pride, this event was a great example of what we can accomplish together.
Stay tuned for more Glebe-provements coming soon.
