. An Early childhood development (ECD) workshop took place the Robinvale Community Hall over two Fridays this month with the main focus being to upskill ECD practitioners and principals and to promote art skills in preparation of our wall painting.
. A clean up was done this month down the heritage tree lane from Robinvale to Sherwood Park with residents and City Solid Waste staffers.
The event was highly successful with over 40 bags of litter collected. A second phase will cover the rest of the tree lane till the end of the ward in Kanon-Kop with the aim to educate residents who live in close proximity on the effects of illegal dumping to the environment and the cost to the City. Local councillor Moosa Raise and his team were thanked for their efforts in the ward.
