Keep East Village Safe, Clean & Awesome! Join the movement to keep our neighbourhood vibrant and welcoming by reporting non-emergency maintenance concerns in East Village. From overflowing trash bins to graffiti on public property, snow clearing, or the safe disposal of sharps and biohazards, the new Safe, Clean & Awesome app empowers you to make a difference in your community. It’s simple: Describe the concern: Let us know what needs attention. Pin the location: Share where it’s happening. Snap a photo: Show us exactly what’s up. This app is part of the East Village Safe, Clean & Awesome program, covering all 49 acres of East Village—including St. Patrick’s Island, Jack & Jean Leslie RiverWalk, and the heart of East Village proper (from 9th Avenue to Riverfront Avenue, and 3rd Street SE to the east). This is the official app of East Village’s Safe, Clean & Awesome team in downtown Calgary.
