The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a national conservation program that provides everyone the opportunity to take action in their communities wherever water meets land, one bit of trash at a time!

This citizen science conservation project tracks each piece of litter collected. Shoreline Cleanups help us to better understand the types of garbage affecting Lethbridge's shorelines.

No registration necessary, but it is encouraged. All you need is gloves, a bag (or bucket), and a checklist to track the types of garbage found.

Remember - your shoreline starts at your front door - litter that enters storm drains at the street level will generally lead directly into the river. Cleaning up litter ANYWHERE is helpful and makes a big difference to our watershed's health!

Shoreline Clean-up 2025

Would you like to organize your own Shoreline Clean-up?

Register your Shoreline Clean-up here. The Nature Centre can provide up gloves, bags, and data sheets, then go for a stroll and track the litter you pick up! When you are done, submit your data to us as part of the national Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup database.

Please track the litter you find using the data card.
