This week marks National Volunteer Week (April 19 – 25, 2009) and we’d like to extend a special THANK-YOU to everyone who has ever volunteered to participate in the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. We value everything that you do to make a positive impact on our shorelines. Every single cleanup makes a difference!
Please enjoy the below photo collage that offers a quick peek into the amazing work you do and the fun you have while doing it.
If you have not yet signed up for the 2009 TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, please visit www.tdgcsc.ca to register.
For more information on National Volunteer Week, visit the Volunteer Canada website.
I clean up various area of Barrie as well as the lakeshore of Kempenfelt Bay (arm of Lake Simcoe). I have kept track of some of the litter but last year I was unable to get connected with you.
Last year I picked up 127,369 items and the year before +117,000 items.
I’d like to hear from you.

P.S. My efforts were featured in the last issue of Simcoe Life published by the Barrie Examiner.
