The Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Coalition will be hosting a Vedder River cleanup in January.
Date: Saturday January 14th 2006
Time: Meet between 9:00am - 9:30am. The cleanup will take about 2 to 3 hours.
Location: Meet at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve.

Please note:
• Dress appropriately. January weather can be interesting (If snow is on the ground, this cleanup is cancelled and an email will be sent).
• Sturdy footwear is a must.
• Gloves are important.
• A broom handle with a nail on the end or a pronged garden cultivator is ideal for reaching items in bushes and other hard to reach places.
Coffee and donuts will be available when you arrive in the morning.
The CVRCC is making a difference. Each cleanup results in 2.5 to 3 tons of garbage being collected. In addition, the ADOPT-A-RIVER part of our program continues to flourish. We now have 20 of the 25 sections of the river adopted. That is, groups have accepted the responsibility of keeping a specific area as clean as possible during the year. This success is due to the many volunteers such as you being involved. The directors do appreciate your participation and help. The ultimate winner as a result of your successful program is the environment.
There will be three other river cleanups later on this year, so please mark them in your calendar:
Saturday, April 22, 2006 (Earth Day/Pitch-In Week)
Saturday, July 15, 2006
Sunday, September 24, 2006 (BC Rivers Day)
The Directors of the Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Coalition continue to have excellent support from the City of Chilliwack, the Fraser Valley Regional District and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Without the support of these agencies, we would not be able to operate this program.
The Directors take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, good health and happiness in the coming year. We look forward to seeing you on January 14.
