Councillor Wordofa leads volunteers to clean up Avon River

Avon River’s waters are now cleaner following a clean-up.

The Multicultural Association of Perth-Huron said during this past long weekend, Stratford city councillor Geza Wordofa led a clean-up of the river alongside association volunteers.

The aim of the clean-up was to protect the still waters from pollution to keep the city’s environment and wildlife safe.

Wordofa says “This is our city and our community—we all have a responsibility to keep it clean.”
