PITCH-IN Week Program

2016 was the 49th annual PITCH-IN Week. The program is the largest environmental improvement campaign in Canada. It is a partnership between municipalities, the media, industry and the public. Volunteer “Partners” participate in a wide range of PITCH-IN Week activities. In total, 625,000 Canadians led by 1,500 local volunteer coordinators participated in the program. The annual PITCH-IN Week campaign results are incorporated in the world-wide Clean-Up the World statistics. This Campaign, of which PITCH-IN CANADA is a founding participant, was started in 1990 and is supported by the UNEP (United Nations Environment Program).
