While walking his dog on the side of a road recently Taylor Nate couldn't keep his eyes off the ditches full of garbage.
Feeling the need to do something, the Fort Simpson man decided to go out and collect the garbage himself. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 disheartening to see that,SA国际影视传媒� said Nate.
After collecting garbage by himself, Nate decided to create a post in the Fort Simpson Facebook bulletin board offering youth qho participate $10 per bag of garbage collected.
In the post, Nate wrote that he was willing to provide latex gloves, garbage bags and high-visibility vests for the youth who sign up.
The post drew positive comments initially but was also met with some criticism about his plan to pay $10 per bag.
SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 just turning a blind eye to the negative comments, itSA国际影视传媒檚 not about the money,SA国际影视传媒� said Nate.
Nate, a construction worker by trade, said he is putting up his own money to pay youth because he wants to help the people in the community who welcomed him with open arms when he first moved there from Alberta in February 2018.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 a really positive thing for the community,SA国际影视传媒� said Troy Bellefontaine, a resident of Fort Simpson, who admires Nate's efforts.
