Our Vision
Create a beautiful, litter-free city through action, advocacy, education, and the recognition of citizens, businesses and organizations who take pride in their city.
Clean St. John’s is committed to inspiring community pride and action for a clean and beautiful St. John’s. To protect and restore our urban surroundings through community involvement and to instill a greater sense of pride and ownership for our city streets, parks, and trails.
Through communtiy events, youth education and engagement programs, and clean-up campaigns, we continue to advocate for a litter-free St. John's.
Our History
Clean St. John’s started as St. John’s Clean and Beautiful, a committee of citizens concerned with the beautification of the downtown core. The organization was incorporated as a non-profit as a result of a resolution adopted by St. John’s City Council on April 8, 1991.
As a city-wide program, co-ordinating efforts to reduce litter and organize beautification projects, the volunteer Board of Directors aimed to create a spirit of pride in our city, with a goal of St. John’s becoming one of the most attractive cities in North America.
30 Years and Going
For over 30 years, Clean St. John’s has been committed to creating public awareness, inspiring accountability, and involving the community in the cleanliness and beauty of our city. The dedicated promotion of working together and encouraging individual responsibility has made this happen. As a result of this community involvement, citizens have a greater sense of neighbourhood pride, as well as a commitment to keeping their little part of St. John’s a cleaner and safer place to live
Our organization takes a direct approach to marketing and increased advocacy approach and has become the conscience for a cleaner St. John’s through community cleanups, continued beautification throughout the city, and active outreach and education campaigns in schools.
