Surprising Statistics - Winnipeg's getting dirtier and dirtier

For once the innercity did not win the cake for negative occurrences in the city of Winnipeg. It is the subburbanits who are the villains when it comes to dirt and nastiness.

Recent research by Take Pride Winnipeg revealed that the Fort Garry/Fort Richmond/St. Norbert area was rated as having the most litter in the city.

The three south-end suburbs received a score of 2.53 on the index, which gives a score of one for litter-free areas and four for highly littered areas. McGillivray Boulevard, Waverley Street and Bison Drive were identified as particularly dirty.

The River Heights/Tuxedo/Charleswood area was ranked the next-dirtiest, scoring 2.42.

Come on you suburban guys with your four pets per household. I'm sure a big part of the problem is pet droppings either in plain view or in plastic bags strewn along the paths.

If there is one thing I hate it's litter. Let's get this city up in shape. Suburbanites in all your fancy homes how could you stand it? Let's get out and get our city back where it's belong let us shine like our friends in the Northend. These folks might be poor but they sure like their surroundings clean. Good for you Northend folks, keep it up and show them what we're about.
