This coming Saturday June the 26th there is a garbage and trail cleanup planned for a 9:00 AM start. If you are able to attend, please show your support for the trails, and for the trail builders and for the new park by showing up and helping to clean up. Bring your bike, ride in and haul out what you can.

Items to bring are:

-Bike

-Work Gloves

-Bike Trailer(s)

-Garbage Bags

-Food and Water

If you have a bike trailer that you don’t mind hauling out some garbage with (in bags) please bring it along. This work will be taking place around the back of Shields lake (see map here), all garbage will be hauled out from the lake area and dropped at Harbourview Road and the CRD maintenance folks will haul it all out in their trucks. If you can get out to help, it will be appreciated. Dan Cammiade has spent time organizing this cleanup, and could use the show of support and the help!
