Pitch In Devon 2019 runs April 29 to May 10

*UPDATE* PITCH IN DEVON 2019 EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 10

Devon’s annual community clean up event “Pitch In Devon 2019” starts Monday, April 29 and runs until Friday, May 3! Gather your friends, family or whoever else you want to join you and pick an area around Devon that you would like to spring clean.

Once your team is put together and you’ve picked an area, let the Town know by emailing our Events Coordinator at events@devon.ca. Prefer to go rogue? That’s ok too! We encourage all spring cleaning, especially with the snow all gone and flowers starting to bloom early this year.

Pitch In Devon Celebration BBQ and Repair Fair – Saturday, May 4

Once all the clean up is done, the Town of Devon will be hosting a BBQ at the Devon Community Centre to thank everyone for their hard work. Devon’s Communities in Bloom will also be at the Community Centre hosting their first ever Repair Fair where local fixer uppers will be on hand teaching how to fix common household things instead of throwing them away.

Date: Saturday, May 4, 2019
Time: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Place: Devon Community Centre
No charge to attend BBQ or Repair Fair

Prizes will be awarded at the BBQ for those who shared their photos through the Town of Devon’s Facebook event or emailed them to our events Coordinator at events@devon.ca.

“Pitch In Devon is one of our largest community driven events and each year we are amazed by the amount of support we receive,” said Jordan Higgs, Community Programs and Event Coordinator for the Town of Devon. “Make sure to submit your clean up pictures on our Facebook Event with the hashtag #PitchInDevon2019 so we can show everyone just how much Devon cares about our community.”
