Didn’t have a ton of time, and only 1 garbage bag that filled quickly. But got some done tonight before a meeting. Planter in front of Teddy’s is bad if anyone wants to hit tomorrow.

I just wish we took more pride in our Main Street. This is a busy part of jasper. Not the Emerald site dead zone. We’ve had no snow on the ground for weeks. Why do we tolerate weeks of trash all over? I get it takes time, but this is a top priority area.

Got to give you credit for actually doing something about the garbage. Most people just shitpost on the internet and don't lift a finger. Kudos to you.

Nice work. I did in front of Teddy's last spring. It was ludicrous how many cigarette butts were in the planter.

Good on you!

We do a neighborhood garbage pick up each year. Every little bit makes a difference.
 
Maybe we could do a Skyrise beer and spring clean event. Pick up trash on Jasper and then meet at Odd Company or Irrational.
Didn’t the DECL just complete a DTBD trash pickup complete on Earth Day/week last week?

Plus, city workers will get to picking up trash any day now

I’ll still be a whiner haha. But I genuinely care and want to see stuff change. Our city needs to raise its standards. Lots of people that’d be open to some gig jobs for this sort of stuff I’m sure. $20/hr to get a few hundred people cleaning up downtown in mid April every year should be a priority.

Sure - but let's pay people a meaningful amount of money instead of poverty wages (do the math on what that looks like as a fulltime salary...)

$20/hr is plenty.

It’s not meant to be a full time salary or job and it’s not “poverty wages”. It’s a good chance to work a few days for some extra money if you’re a student or person with some extra hours on hand.

A literal CPA will make under 55k their first year at a big 4 firm in downtown Edmonton. That’s with a 4 year degree and professional designation.

40k annual equivalent wage to pick up garbage for a couple of hours over a few days is just fine. You disagree?

Yes. A 4-year degree does not justify low pay for others.
 
What do you think is a fair wage for temporary garbage cleaning work?

Btw, the official liveable wage in Edmonton is literally $20.85. And I don’t think that should even apply to what is a temporary gig for a few hours.
Why would someone deserve under a living wage just because they have a temporary or gig job? All people deserve a living wage because they are people.

The Living Wage in Edmonton is $22.30 : https://www.livingwagealberta.ca/what-is-a-living-wage
