Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
Be part of a conservation effort that is making a difference coast to coast.  Shoreline waste affects local wildlife.  Take action and make a difference in your area by joining tens of thousands of volunteers from across Canada as we clean up shorelines. 

Get your school or class involved in this year's shoreline cleanup sponsored by the Vancouver Aquarium and the Toronto Zoo.  The great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a wonderful opportunity for students to become involved in community volunteer projects.  Zoo sponsored cleanups are run during the month of Spetember.
