Lawn Busters
Do you have a lawn mower that is looking for a new home?
Consider donating your operational lawn mower to the Lawn Busters program to help keep a senior's lawn healthy and tidy. Please call 780-464-4044 for more information.
Helping seniors with lawn care.
Lawn Busters matches eligible seniors with volunteers who will help them with lawn mowing. County citizens are encouraged to do their own “lawn busting” outside of Lawn Busters, as well. As an alternative to becoming a registered volunteer in the program, residents can simply offer to help a senior in their neighbourhood.
Becoming a Lawn Buster
You can make a difference in the life of a senior. There are two ways to help.
- Take some extra time when caring for your own yard to give a neighbour a helping hand.
OR - Register as a volunteer with the Lawn Busters program.
Volunteers may be individuals, families, teams or groups, who enjoy working outside, want to make community connections and prefer a flexible volunteer schedule.
To register as a volunteer, complete the Lawn Busters application form.

Why it is important

- helps seniors remain in their homes safely
