WINNIPEG — As the snow continues to melt, it’s starting to reveal sidewalks, boulevards and streets covered in winter litter.
But some areas are worse than other and Take Pride Winnipeg hit the streets looking for the city’s dirtiest neighbourhood.
For a second year in a row, northwest Winnipeg has won the the title.
The Take Pride Winnipeg 2016 Litter Index ranks the state of the city’s neighbourhood cleanliness based on a scale of 1-4, with the dirtier neighbourhoods getting the higher scores.
Northwest Winnipeg earned a score of 2.85, and the cleanest neighbourhood was the Winnipeg south area, with an average score of 2.41.

“Spring is here and now we see the results of litterbugs throughout the winter. We also ask all Winnnipeggers to do their part in cleaning our streets and parks,” Tom Ethans with Take Pride Winnipeg said in a media release.
