JOIN US: Join Surfrider Vancouver for our last beach clean up of 2023 at English Bay. Rain or shine (unless it’s a heavy downpour) this will be a fun time to clean up and sort through the waste we all pick up.
WHEN: Saturday, Dec 9 from 9:30am – 12:00pm
WHERE TO MEET: Look for the blue Surfrider tent/flag on the beach, just southwest of the Cactus Club English Bay.
SORTING VOLUNTEERS: In addition to picking up litter, we also need volunteers to help sort the items collected into different recycling categories. When registering, please indicate if you are interested in sorting litter instead of picking it up.
WHAT TO BRING/WEAR: We will provide reusable gloves, buckets and pickers – however, we welcome you to bring your own as there is a limited supply. Please wear closed toe shoes such as hiking boots with either high socks or pants to cover your shins.
POST-CLEANUP SOCIAL: Stay tuned for the location…
LAST BUT NOT LEAST – SAFETY FIRST: Please do not collect heavy, sharp or hazardous objects. Instead, mark the location and inform a Surfrider volunteer for safe removal. Always use a stick or trash picker when sifting to avoid sharp objects.
*Please note that there are stairs down to the beach. If you do not wish to travel up and down the stairs, there are other ways to help such as sorting litter or counting cigarette butts.
Don’t forget to share your beach cleanup photos using #surfridervan
We hope to see you there!
