participating in the

Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup

This will be FOMC’s 3rd year participating in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup as part of our Fall Creek Cleanup. This is a nationwide program to protect the health and beauty of Canada’s waterways. Volunteering at this cleanup means you will not only be taking part in one of Canada’s largest conservation initiatives, but you will also be making the shoreline habitat cleaner and safer for wildlife.

We invite you to join us help clean up the shoreline as well as part of One Mile Creek!

To register for the cleanup please visit the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup website here. Registration is not mandatory, but encouraged.
