Planet Cleanup in Honour of Earth Day
Kids Who Explore wrapped up its FIRST event last week: Planet Cleanup. The purpose with this event was to make cleaning up litter fun for the whole family and we were so excited to hear positive feedback amongst the almost 170 participants. Collectively, our community was able to clean up 159 bags of litter from 11 countries from all over the world!Â
We asked you to head out and safely clean up litter from your favourite trails and around your home. Kids Who Explore also sent out a bingo card to participants for some added fun for the kids!
We’re very impressed with the way that @Araradventures filled out the card, but we had many awesome submissions with a number of creative ways to complete it. After all, we certainly don’t have these skills!
Event Kick-Off
Most of our behind-the-scenes team kicked off the event in the picturesque town of Canmore, Alberta. We wish that we could have extended this invitation to the community, but with COVID-19 restrictions in place, we are not hosting in-person events at this time.Â
Additionally, we were lucky enough to have two other talented ladies partner with us for this event. Elisabeth Cole graciously shot all the photos you see of our team and she blew us away with her photography! Also, Michelle Klatt, owner and designer of Primrose Design & Co. was kind enough to suit the team up with Kids Who Explore-branded face masks and garbage bags. After all, what’s an event without branded gear! We thank you both so much for your contributions.
Some Funny Items that were Found
- Slipper, sock undies, adult diapers, and part of a belt
