The results of the city’s litter index show Winnipeg has a little less litter than it did last year.
Take Pride Winnipeg released its neighbourhood scores, and the city has improved as a whole from 2017.
“We are getting ahead in a lot of ways. There are a lot of people that are helping to eliminate litter … and more and more people doing creative things,” Executive Director Tom Ethans said.
Ethans applauded people who have been ‘plogging’ — picking up garbage while jogging.
For those who move at a slower pace, ‘plawking’ might be an option, which is litter-picking while walking.
Ethans said they’re hoping to see even more people helping keep the city clean.

St. Boniface was the cleanest area of Winnipeg, followed by downtown.
The area with the worst rating was northwest Winnipeg, specifically Oak Point Highway/Brookside Boulevard, Perimeter Highway, Jefferson Street (McPhillips to Mandalay) and Selkirk Avenue (Shaughnessy to Keewatin).
