NEW DATE AND TIME!
If you're able to make it for Saturday May 29th at 9 A.M., please let Dan know by calling 905-227-9288 or emailing ctoppari1@cogeco.ca.
We will meet at the end of Townline Road West in Thorol, behind Big Red Food Service.
Pease contact Dan for the exact location where to meet.
Location:
We will start cleaning up the roads, Merritt Trail, and Bruce Trail, starting at the top in Thorold and down to Mountain Rd., St. Catharines. We will gather in the parking lot at the corner of Front St. North and McNamara, Thorold,
Details:
Please bring your own boots, gloves, hats, and pickers. Be aware of your physical limitations, and if you have any mobility issues, please stay on even pathways.
We hope to gather at a restaurant after the cleanup for some snacks. Contact Dan for more information.
Background:
The Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup initiative has grown from a District 7090 service project covering a small portion of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie to a multi-district plan to focus Rotarians’ attention on all five of the Great Lakes and their streams and waterways feeding them. The goal every year is to make this the single largest cleanup event ever planned.
The Great Lakes contain almost 20% of the world's fresh water and are arguably the largest source of fresh water on the planet. It borders eight states and two provinces and has 9,577 miles (15,323 kilometers) of shoreline. More than 22 million pounds (10 million kilograms) of trash and plastic pollution ends up in the Great Lakes each year.
This cleanup is critical to reducing the amount of garbage that collects in our watersheds each year. The second goal is to tabulate the amount of debris collected from each of the individual cleanup events. The most important goal is to educate the public on the importance of protecting our waterways and to instill a sense of stewardship towards our Great Lakes.
Opportunity:
Engage as many Districts, Clubs, Rotarians, Rotaractors, and other community groups and volunteers around the Great Lakes Watershed. Each Club should find out what is happening in their community regarding other spring clean-ups. Engage with local Conservation Authorities, Watershed Groups, and local non-governmental organizations to see what is already planned in your area and to coordinate or partner with them.
Let's make a difference in our environment and come together as a community to clean up our Great Lakes! |
