ANNUAL BEACH CLEANUP

As a part of our environmental program, Burnaby Squadron members participate in an annual beach clean up in designated Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm areas.  Below is a picture of the first annual beach cleanup and associated information.

Four Boats and 21 crew on garbage detail

June 5th, 2004 Environment Week

at Iron Bay, Indian Arm, BC

The site was chosen because it is accessible primarily by water and occasionally by a four-wheel drive. Along the trail and on the beach there was evidence of several campsites and of logging in the area. The search ended with several garbage bags full of 190 pounds of garbage consisting of plastics, wire, beer and pop cans, an inflatable mattress, broken glass and a car bumper.

It was a successful first time event combining camaraderie, an enjoyable trip by water and cleanup of an area which has been neglected to date.
