East Side Reservoir’s grassroots improvements

When I was a kid growing up in east Saint John I spent a number of  sunny summer days biking around the access roads and trails that circled “the rez.”  A few years back I helped pick up trash around there as part of a youth volunteerism week (a few years may be seven, now that I stop and think). 

I guess I haven’t noticed in recent years all the activity around this area.  Apparently, according to the Telegraph Journal, a group of citizens have voluntarily taken up the cause to clean the area of the mounds of garbage and old cars around the water. 

The group, who is online at http://www.saintjohnrez.ca/ has big plans for the area which could see it transformed into a very nice east side park.
