TD Canada Shoreline Cleanup 2009
In September, 50 volunteers came down to Noons Creek and helped to clean up along the estuary, the creek and the paths around the hatchery. We had a great day and really appreciated everyone’s efforts and hope to have a whole lot LESS to clean up next year ! If you’d like to volunteer next September, keep an eye on our website or check the official cleanup website, listed as Shoreline Park from Noons Creek to Old Mill Park.
Here is a brief tally of some of what was collected:
224 cigarette butts
32Â Â cigarette packets
1Â Â Â Â tire
134 food wrappers and containers
64Â Â plastic bags
1Â Â Â Â cell phone
84Â Â caps / lids
1Â Â Â Â hockey stick
15Â Â items of clothing
10Â Â balloons
2Â Â Â Â wallets
ATTENTION – SALMON SPAWNING
POSTER CAMPAIGN
During the spawning season, volunteers put several posters up along Noons Creek and the estuary boardwalk, with the kind permission of the City of Port Moody, reminding people to keep out of the waters. Dogs and people can easily scare the salmon which can mean the loss of up to 3,000 eggs.
