Alberta RCMP are urging drivers to slow down and stay alert during a province-wide highway cleanup set for May 2nd, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. More than 12,000 volunteers are expected to take part, including about 8,000 children from 4H Clubs, Junior Forest Wardens, and other youth groups.
Participants will be working along highways wearing safety vests, with caution signs posted near cleanup zones. Police say drivers should watch for increased foot traffic and reduce speed in marked areas.
Additional RCMP patrols will be on hand throughout the day to enforce traffic laws and help keep volunteers safe. If weather causes delays, the cleanup will move to May 9th.
