Gavin the Gutter Buddy

Keeping storm drains flowing and inspiring neighbours.

Gavin the Gutter Buddy sweeps through the neighbourhood, checking drains and painting yellow fish. He even adopted his local stormdrain to make sure it's always flowing freely.

Bringing everyone together, he's a local hero for the river and beyond!

Gavin’s tips

• Adopt a storm drain in your neighbourhood

Poop-Scoopin' Penny

Keeping the neighbourhood smelling fresh year-round.

Every day, in all year round, Penny and Luna explore the neighbourhood. After a snowy park day, Luna left a surprise on the boulevard. No "out of sight" for Penny! She cleans up after Luna every time, making sure the outdoors stays pristine. Even in her backyard, Penny's on it, fighting off dirty paws and nasty odours. Penny keeps the neighbourhood smelling fresh year-round. 

Penny's tips

• Just because it’s in the long grass doesn’t mean it’s not there – don’t leave pet waste for someone else to uncover
• Keep your backyard clean and fresh so bacteria isn’t tracked inside
• Always pick up after your pets
