Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup This Saturday
« on: April 15, 2024, 04:41:49 PM »

Consider giving back to our river so many of you fish. This post is from The Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society.

Dear Friends of the Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society,

This is a friendly reminder that the Spring River Cleanup is happening THIS Saturday, April 20th.

We invite you and all our Adopt-A-River volunteers to join us at THOMPSON REGIONAL PARK (48600 Chilliwack Lake Rd), Chilliwack, BC, to get our beautiful Chilliwack Vedder river valley all cleaned up for Spring. Registration will be open from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, and if you PRE-REGISTER before the event, you will receive an extra raffle ticket.

To pre-register, email us the following information no later than Friday, April 19th: Full name, cell phone number, Emergency Contact name, and cell phone number. We will use this information to contact you if you don't check back in with registration at Thompson Regional Park.

All garbage must be returned to the bins before 1:30 pm. Thank you to Scott and the crew at Valley Waste for donating the bins for our cleanups, Home Depot for donating our cleanup supplies, and, McDonald's on Luckakuck for the refreshments. Of course, we thank the City of Chilliwack, the Fraser Valley Regional District, and, the Province for their funding too. We could not do what we do without the support of all of our partners.

Did you know that the City of Chilliwack supports organized cleanups of illegal dumping hotspots located on public land within City boundaries and in FVRD Electoral Area E (Chilliwack River Valley) in two ways:

    Providing free Tag-a-Bag stickers for waste, or...
    Providing a free tipping pass for the Bailey Landfill (applicable for those in the FVRD Electoral Area E).

For more information, please visit the City's website.
