The results for this year’s International Coastal Cleanup Day are in and they are something to celebrate. During the week of September 18 to 25, coast-to-coast in Canada, over 4,370 volunteers participated in 185 shoreline cleanups. Calculations are still in the works but, so far, the total is 3,381 kg of litter. That is equivalent to the weight of a killer whale!
Your Environment Committee is dedicated to participating in this event next year. Let’s gather in groups and clean our beaches, rivers, and creeks of all the useless trash that ends up there and eventually makes its way into our oceans.
