YBID celebrates 10 years of 'Clean Sweep'

Yorkton Business Improvement District has celebrated a 10 year anniversary and is getting the Clean sweep summer program underway for 2021.

YBID started the program Ten years ago in 2011, as they recognized a need to keep the District clean and safe for the businesses, community, and the general shopping and beautification of the District. 

You will see the SIGN workers get out in the District for the clean street program as they are identified by the bright vests.  With the YBID’s new carts from last year that helped the workers to be able to get up and down the streets much better, workers will be headed for the District streets.  The cleanup gets going June 1^st and continues as weather allows into the fall.  The YBID puts 10,000 each year into this program so that the District streets are clean and nice to walk and shop.  SIGN organizes the workers that take much pride in the District and the areas they clean.  Each worker wears a safety vest and pushes the cart down the District on the sidewalks from Casino to Highway #9 and the downtown walks to clean up the trash and recycling that accumulates.  

May 27, YBID met with SIGN workers and Executive Director Andrew Sedley to deliver the cheque for 10,000 for the 2021 summer program.  SIGN workers line up to get involved with the program for many reasons and taking pride in the work they do and the service it provides is part of this. 

YBID continues to provide projects to beautify and to bring customers to the District for the best shopping, living, business experience, and draw to the District.
