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.

The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority will be having an open house meeting for all FOMC members, landowners along the creek, and members of the community who are interested to learn more about the guide and how to get the most out of it. Hope to see you all on March 10th!
