Printable Version PITCH-IN CANADA
| FedEx provides funding and recruits employee volunteers for PITCH-IN CANADA to support their community clean-up initiatives and to help them develop ongoing programs to keep Canada beautiful. For more than forty years, PITCH-IN CANADA has been recruiting and involving volunteers who are involved in its community-based environmental improvement and beautification programs. While community clean-up and litter prevention is one very visible aspect of PITCH-IN CANADA's programs, the goal of all their programs is to instill individual responsibility towards maintaining a clean and healthy environment. This includes conserving energy, creating green space, beautification, reducing environmental impact and much more. Their annual PITCH-IN WEEK campaign, OPERATION: Clean Sweep, involves more than three million participants in more than 12,000 projects across the country. Volunteers organize educational and action projects including clean-ups and fix-ups of their communities, composting, recycling, tree planting, eco-fairs, energy conservation and restoration of the natural environment.
