Let’s keep our parks and green spaces clean

Restrictions on indoor gatherings to limit and stop the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in increased use of parks and green spaces on the island of Montreal, including the City of Westmount. This increase has resulted in an increase in the amount of garbage and waste in the parks.

Park and green space users are encouraged to contribute to the cleanliness of these areas by ensuring that they always dispose of their garbage and waste in the designated garbage cans. The City’s Public Works Department crews work tirelessly to empty the garbage cans as quickly as possible.

The easing of restrictions on indoor gatherings announced by the Gouvernement du Québec, which should take effect on May 28, may help alleviate some of the overcrowding in the parks.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
