The Courtenay and District Fish & Game Protective Association held its annual spring clean-up in support of Earth Day activities in the Comox Valley on April 15. The Waste Management Centre kindly waived the tipping fees for the event, and Mother Nature spared the 55 volunteers by holding off on the rain. Bravo to the youth who came out to help with their parents. Hopefully, this contribution to Earth Day will keep the roads clean for a while.
At least three tons of garbage and illegally dumped material was collected from the roadsides leading from the club back to the Morrison Creek overpass, Comox Logging and Bevan. Items included couches, building materials, metal, needles, just to name a few.
鈥淲e had an amazing kitchen crew who prepped, cooked delicious hamburgers for the hungry volunteers and then cleaned up after,鈥� said association secretary, Gail Eggiman. 鈥淗ope to see all those amazing members at our upcoming events in May and June. Many thanks!鈥�
