Be a Part of the Solution

Every September, Canadians from across the country head to their local shorelines to make a positive impact in their community and you too can be a part of the solution!

Getting involved is as easy as…

1.  Organizing a cleanup by becoming a Site Coordinator

       or

2.  Helping at a cleanup by becoming a Cleanup Participant

1. Becoming a Site Coordinator 

As a Site Coordinator you are the lead contact and organizer for your shoreline cleanup and this is a fantastic and rewarding leadership opportunity. You will receive online access to the Site Coordinator Manual, online tools for organizing a cleanup, and many other valuable resources.

You will also have the added flexibility of planning your cleanup to make it look and feel however you want, and even invite whomever you would like to participate.

• Your cleanup can include a group of friends, family, colleagues or even the entire community. It’s up to you!
• Your cleanup can be a couple of hours or an entire day. It’s up to you!
• Your cleanup can include fun activities, games, prizes, costumes, food. It’s up to you!

As a Site Coordinator, your main responsibilities are:

• selecting the date and location of the cleanup,
• managing a team of cleanup participants,
• obtaining cleanup supplies,
• notifying local municipality,
• arranging waste disposal, and
• submitting completed data cards and returning signed waiver forms.

2. Becoming a Cleanup Participant 

Are you tight on time but looking for a fun and easy way to get outside? Looking to become an environmental steward and meet new people? Helping at a local cleanup is the way to go. Many cleanups are looking for participants to come out and lend a hand. This hands-on conservation program offers a truly one of a kind learning experience.
