About GoGreen

GoGreen is an annual event held in Swift Current, SK with a goal to beautify our community and minimize our carbon footprint. GoGreen 2024 took place on Friday, September 13th in partnership with Stark & Marsh and the City of Swift Current.

You can volunteer!

GoGreen is open to public volunteers that help with a variety of projects. Examples include tree and shrub planting, landscaping, pathway clean up, flower bed maintenance, and mulching.

Last year’s GoGreen brought approximately 90 volunteers together and we were able to plant a total of 675 trees and shrubs across 11 different project sites in our community.

Volunteer shifts are 9:00am-12:00pm and 1:00pm-4:00pm. 

All volunteers will receive a volunteer package via email by September 11, 2024.
