In 2018, more than 60 volunteers helped clear over 40kg’s of garbage from along our shoreline at our Noons Creek hatchery for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Let’s hopefully collect even less this year!
Saturday, August 24!
We will be cleaning along Noons Creek, the Shoreline Trail of the Port Moody Arm of Burrard Inlet from Orchard Park to Rocky Point Park.
The Port Moody Ecological Society acknowledges and honours that our community lies on unceded indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish Peoples, xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish),Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
