British Columbia White Water

Jeff Strang, Jeff Lewis, stephen Hunt and I (Jan) ran the Chemainus this weekend and started talking about the idea Jeff Strang had to do a river clean up on the Cowichan. Being a Canadian Heritage River, we think that it would be a great oportunity for us to doa clean up day or weekend there. During the summer there are lots of tubers and other recreational users and due to the volume of people and the lack of volume of water, a lot of garbage is left behind.

Unfortunately, we are pretty late already and Jakub pointed out that a lot of the garbage might already have been washed away. However, it might be still worth while to do a clean-up. Shayne offered to help us organize it as an event under the name and support of the VIWPS. We should come up with a good date where a lot of people can show up.

Any ideas? I started a discussion in the Forum.

Cheers, Jan
