The Honiara City Council (HCC) thanked the public for taking part in a clean-up event on Friday in preparation for the 46th Independence Celebrations.
Deputy City Clerk Jefferson Patovaki said a large number of Honiara residents came out to help with the clean-up.
“I would like to express my gratitude to all those who turned out in large numbers for the clean-up this weekend.”
“HCC thanks everyone who participated in this clean city operation. I saw that our streets were clean, so on behalf of HCC, I would like to thank everyone who volunteered to participate in the cleanup operation over the weekend.”
“Despite the public clean up announcement on Friday, I would like to urge all Honiara residents to continue the spirit of clean up the city.”
“Let’s continue in the spirit of a clean city, not just when we have big events,” Patovacky said.
He explained that when our cities are clean, it will have a positive impact on our lives and the lives of tourists from abroad. A clean environment will also improve our health.
Patovacky clarified that the cleanup was not just to celebrate the 46th Independence Day, but also to create a lasting impact on our lives through a good and clean environment.
“It has been going great so far and I want to especially thank the City Council, the Mayor, the HCC staff and the HCC Secretary.”
He admitted that HCC staff also came out on Friday to join the public in the clean-up within the city.
“I commend you for a job well done and look forward to even better times ahead for the City of Honiara.”
Patovacky also thanked departments, district councillors, chambers of commerce, church leaders, government officials and volunteers for their contribution to the clean-up effort to celebrate the country’s 26th Independence Day with a clean environment.
“I may not mention some of you but I want to thank the communities around Honiara who have volunteered to come out and clean up our city. Let us all continue in the same spirit because we are citizens of this country and city we call Honiara home so let us all take responsibility and help the Honiara Community Centre clean up the city and make Solomon Islands a better place.”
“HCC appreciates your positive response and thank you for accepting HCC’s call for this celebration on Friday,” Patovacky said.
