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!
