Student warned to party responsibly, keep property neat as Project LEARN begins again
Working in collaboration with the Fanshawe Student Union, Fanshawe College, surrounding neighbourhoods, housing mediators, landlords, bar owners and bylaw enforcement, London Police Services will be out in full force ensuring students and residents are celebrating the end of the school year, and oncoming summer, responsibly.
However, those staying through
the summer will likely not be
receiving the usual door-to-door
police visits, as those are reserved
for September, said Const. Amy
Phillipo, media relations officer.
“At this point, many students are
aware of the project,” she said.
“September is a refresher.”
She also notes that residents
should be diligent about keeping
their yards debris-free. Besides
upsetting the city with the amount
of garbage, there has also been the
issue of left-out items being set on
fire in the past.
“Obviously we would like people
to put the garbage out on
garbage day,” she advised.
Fanshawe College will be helping
students keep yards clean by
offering dumpsters for those living
in the Thurman, Fleming and
Prosperity areas to get rid of large
items. The dumpsters will be there
from April 25 to 30, and will be
located in the park. The college
will also be hiring security to
ensure none of the items are set on
fire or taken.
“Don't lose your year,” said
John Young, operations manager
for the Fanshawe Student Union,
adding that everyone has worked
hard this year and it would be a
waste to risk it all on a crazy endof-
the-year party.
