Quincy, Mass., Nov. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breezeline employees and family members volunteered their time this fall to clean up parks and beaches in eight states. The cleanup efforts took place at nine locations in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Florida.
The cleanup activities, which took place starting in September and concluded this week, furthered the company’s commitment to the environment, while helping to beautify local communities.
“We are excited to partner with our communities all across our service footprint to preserve the natural beauty of our parks and beaches,” said Frank van der Post, president of Breezeline. “The concrete actions we take as a company and as individuals will help protect the environment as we work to create a more sustainable future.”
The employee volunteer activities took place both in the U.S. where the company does business as Breezeline, and in Canada, where its parent company and business units operate as Cogeco.
This year’s activities took place at the following locations with assistance from municipal and community partners:
- New Hampshire: Henry Law Park in Dover (Dover Parks & Recreation)
- Massachusetts: Mather Elementary School (Boston Cares, Dorchester)
- Connecticut: Groton Long Point Road (Department of Parks & Recreation, Groton)
