Keeping our City Clean, Green & Beautiful is up to all of us. We invite you to get involved! Together we can improve the physical environment and the quality of life in our City.

A Clean, Green & Beautiful Thunder Bay depends on the pride of residents, businesses, property owners and youth. It also makes good business sense and results in a healthy economy. Clean, green & beautiful cities attract visitors, highly skilled workers and investment, and enable us to live, work and play in well maintained, safe and pleasant surroundings.

Clean, Green & Beautiful is one of City Council's four strategic priorities.
