Mohawk Racetrack Employees Join Spring Clean Up

Employees from Mohawk Racetrack rolled up their sleeves in support of today's Nassagaweya Clean Up. The country roads surrounding the Village of Campbellville and Mohawk Racetrack are litter free thanks to the hard work of the many volunteers who came out in support of this annual event.

Nassagaweya Clean Up & Halton Region Rain Barrel Sale

I wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate Woodbine Entertainment for allowing the Mohawk Racetrack Guelph Line Parking Lots to be used for community activities. In the past it`s been used for road safety events, as well as the police truck stop program which makes our roads safer by getting unsafe trucks off our roads. Today it was the distribution point for the NCCC and its Roadside Cleanup Program and Halton Region`s Rain Barrel program.The more activities there are that can be seen from the roadway, by the public, the more awareness there is from the street, the more traffic slows down, which in itself creates a safer environment. Kudos and thanks to WEG for its community participation. I am proud to say that Mohawk Racetrack/Woodbine Entertainment Group is part of my community.
