Community members and Osman\u2019s Optical staff members braved the cold and spent the morning cleaning Hout Park, located on the corner of Second Street and Second Avenue, and the park located on the corner of Shamrock Road and Beaconsfield Avenue in Primrose.<\/p>

\u201cThis was a truly wonderful project,\u201d said Ward 39 councillor Alta de Beer who helped pick up litter in Hout Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the last minute preparations, and no attendees at our Primrose clean-up, we were fortunate to have had an enjoyable day,\u201d said Suhayl Rehman, from Osman\u2019s Optical.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt was a pleasure contributing to the area and community around us and we intend carrying out initiatives such as these in future, with some earlier planning.\u201d<\/p>\n
