And so it comes to this.
A city that claims it isn’t wasting a single dime, beseeching citizens to pick up garbage because there’s no money left to pay workers.
“If you’re out walking, do us a favour and help us out,” said Todd Reichardt, Parks manager with the City of Calgary.
“If you see it, pick up the trash and put it in the nearest garbage can.”
Desperate times, desperate measures.
It’s about as desperate as times get at the city’s Parks Department, where the budget is blown, and there’s no choice but to lay off seasonal workers months ahead of schedule.

Desperate indeed.
Anyone think a private company can do a much better job for much cheaper than the City Of Calgary?
Lord knows they need an overhaul, especially in the work ethic department.
