The Gorge Waterway Clean up

South Vancouver Island

Sat. September 18th, 2010 9:00am - 12:00pm

Participating in The Gorge Waterway Cleanup is a great way to make a difference to our local
environment. Each year, more than two tones of debris is retrieved from the Gorge shoreline and
waters. The result is an improved habitat for local wildlife and a more beautiful area for people to enjoy.
Event headquarters will be set-up at two locations: Waterfront Crescent near the Galloping Goose Trail
(follow the signs) & Gorge Park. Volunteers will clean sections of the Gorge Waterway from the Bay St.
Bridge to the Tillicum St. Bridge.
Volunteers from schools, local businesses, and non-profit organizations will be involved in this year's
Gorge Waterway Cleanup, as well as residents from across Greater Victoria. Scuba divers and boaters
will join land-based volunteers, so that debris can be retrieved along the shoreline and from within the
ocean.
