GREAT CANADIAN SHORELINE CLEANUP
Sunday September 19, 10am

Roll up your sleeves and lend a hand cleaning up the beaches of Long Point. The TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a national conservation initiative that allows all Canadians to have a positive impact on their local environment. More than just a program to pick up trash, valuable data is collected from each cleanup to determine the major (and minor) causes of shoreline litter in each area. We will meet at the parking lot beside the Causeway restaurant on Long Point.

Let you creative side shine as you use the natural world to inspire your works of art.

Time will be spent outdoors searching for the perfect items to create your masterpiece. Location: Backus Heritage Conservation Area.
