Volunteers Needed — Alberta Highway Cleanup Day

The annual Alberta Highway Cleanup is coming up, and we’re looking for volunteers to help keep our community beautiful!

Date: Saturday, May 2, 2026
Alternate (weather backup): Saturday, May 9, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM
Meeting Location: A&W in Three Hills
Volunteers: please email info@trochuarb.ca to sign up!

We will be cleaning our usual section along Highway 583, from Junction 21 to Highway 836 (east of Three Hills). This is a great opportunity to get outdoors, connect with neighbours, and make a visible difference in our local area.

How You Can Help

We’re looking for individuals, families, and small groups to assist with different sections along the route. Children are welcome to participate with supervision.

If you’re available, please let us know:

  • If you can volunteer
  • If you have a preferred section (see map below)
  • How many people will be joining you, and their names (and age if children).

Why Participate?

  • Help keep our highways clean and safe
  • Support community pride
  • Enjoy some fresh air and teamwork
  • A great opportunity for families and youth to get involved

Safety Requirements

Safety is a priority for all participants:

  • Volunteers must be at least 9 years of age
  • Supervision ratios:
    • 1 adult for every 2 children under 14
    • 1 adult for every 5 youth ages 14–18

  • Medians are not cleaned on divided highways
