Due to COVID-19, the annual fall leaf-raking service project for senior citizens has been cancelled.
The City of West Chicago has announced, by Proclamation issued on August 12, 2020, the cancellation of all festivals and events on City-owned property through December 31, 2020.
The decision to cancel was based on the significant and continuing health threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the ever increasing number of COVID-19 cases and the increasing positivity rates in the City.
The Executive Proclamation also encourages that other organizers, of both indoor and outdoor events on private property, take like action in cancelling such gatherings.
