Fifteen people pitched in to help CV Nature clean up the shoreline around the Courtenay Riverway & Airpark Lagoon on Sunday Sept. 29 as part of the BC Rivers Day Shoreline Cleanup.

Just a few showers did not prevent everyone from enjoying the morning & the refreshments afterward.
Cleanup Crew
Over 20 bags of garbage including recyclables and glass was collected during the two hour event. Among the plastic, clothing items, and cigarette butts, the strangest item of litter collected was a plastic swan!
A Portion of the Garbage
Thanks everyone for doing such a great job..I walk the AirPark frequently not only for exercise but for socialization with the people and the dogs! have to go out and purchase a pair of boots so I can help next time..Also a good pair of walking shoes so I can join in the walks.
Best wishes,
Sharon
