Thank you for joining the annual beach cleanup!
A big thank you to all beach captains, cleanup teams, recycling depot volunteers, and supporting businesses who took part in the annual beach cleanup! 154 volunteers removed over 10 cubic meters (10,000 litres) of material from the beaches, and sorted it at the Mayne Island Recycling depot. As part of a new partnership with Ocean Legacy Inc., we are diverting 70% of the material collected from the landfill to their recycling facility in Richmond, which specializes in recycling marine debris.
Thanks to a team of adult and children volunteers organized by the Tsartlip First Nation Stewardship Department, the Helen Point reserve lands were included in the 2023 beach cleanup!
