Miramichi News: Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-up: Miramichi

Miramichi News:  Join us in the Miramichi branch of this National project. We will be meeting on Saturday Septebmer 17th to clean up the shores in our local community, for more information on this project, visit: http://shorelinecleanup.ca?/en

Every September, Canadians from across the country head to their local shorelines to make a positive impact in their community and you too can be a part of the solution!

The Vancouver Aquarium has coordinated cleanups in Canada since 1994, when a small team of volunteers conducted a local shoreline cleanup in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. In 2002, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup became a national program, providing all Canadians the opportunity to make a difference in local communities, while taking part in a nationwide event.

Participants removed litter from 2,235 km of shoreline in 2010, and the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup has become Canada’s largest contributor to the International Coastal Cleanup, a global effort to remove harmful litter and aquatic debris from shorelines. With the assistance of sponsors, partners, and donors, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup has been able to expand and grow, enabling greater awareness of the negative effects of shoreline litter.

Each year, the public support and general awareness of the program has increased, inspiring more Canadians to join in to make a difference. In 2010, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup celebrated its 17th anniversary with 47,027 registrants nationwide.

Our mission is to promote understanding and education about shoreline litter issues by encouraging Canadians to rehabilitate shoreline areas through cleanups.

Our vision is a fully engaged and committed Canadian public keeping all Canadian shorelines free from litter.
