We cleaned up the Teeswater River!

On Sunday September 16th 2012, as part of a national effort called The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, 20 dedicated and hard working people collected more then 460 lbs of garbage along the Teeswater River! Unusual items collected this year were a bowling ball, mail box, electric can opener and a metal boat! Among the many items found were an excessive number of plastic bags (27), beverage cans (32) and food wrappers/containers (32).

Important contributors included: Buddsteel for the meetup facility,Milk from Gay Lea Foods, Food and drinks from the Municipality of South Bruce, funding by the Bruce Resource Stewardship Network, prize table by Mona Cormier from Remax West Reality Inc of Toronto and ADP Canada.

Special thanks to Sharon Yorke, Jim LeGrand and Chris Hughes for exceptional support and assistance.

We encourage all members of the community to help foster a better stewardship ethic and awareness of the Teeswater River ecosystem and all rivers! The plan is to cleanup the entire length of the river. Mark your calendar to help next year on Sunday Sept 15, 2013!
