This week celebrates two very special events, National Volunteer Week (April 18 – 24, 2010) and Earth Day (Thurs April 22). Both events are very significant to the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup; National Volunteer Week is a time to recognize the value of volunteers all across Canada and Earth Day is an important celebration of our planet’s natural wonder.
Volunteers are the heart of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Not only do they guarantee the success of our program, but their positive actions help spread environmental awareness throughout their local communities. From the Site Coordinator who donates their time and leadership skills to organize a cleanup every September to the participants who volunteer to help pick up trash at these events, we’d like to thank each and every one of you.
