Randy Kamp, MP and Canadian Pacific Team Up to Clean Up in Pitt Meadows
Pitt Meadows British Columbia - Canadian Pacific
and the Office of Randy Kamp, MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission got together to remove debris and
litter from around the CP overpass between Edith McDermott Elementary School and Davie Jones Elementary School in Pitt Meadows.
"We are pleased to partner with CP and their employees to clean up this site," said Kamp. "We're doing our part to make
our community a cleaner and better place. We hope this sends a strong message to those who think it's OK to use private property as a
dumping ground."
A team of CP employees, Randy Kamp, and his team of volunteers, and a handful of concerned citizens from Pitt Meadows were at the site
on Saturday morning with gloves and hardhats ready to clear the area from derelict shopping carts, and other unsightly litter. Once
the work was done, the Pitt Meadows Subway Restaurant graciously offered to provide lunch for the cleanup crew.
CP stopped trains from passing through this stretch of track for just under one hour, in order to facilitate the cleanup.
"Canadian Pacific commends Pitt Meadows - Maple Ridge - Mission MP Randy Kamp for organizing this community
clean-up," said Larry Metz, Manager of Terminal Operations at CP's Vancouver Intermodal Facility in Pitt Meadows.
"CP employees are committed to improving the communities where they live and work and we're pleased to
help."
