From 10am to 3pm come on out and lend your hand at keeping our local river clean and free of garbage. Meet at 10am at the store, bring your own gloves or if you don’t have any just bring you. We’ll supply gloves and garbage bags for you. Please be sure to dress well for the weather and the task at hand. The Coquitlam River Clean Up has been an annual event for the past nine years with the generous help of volunteers and the support of the City of Port Coquitlam and the City of Coquitlam. In years past we’ve removed a tremendous amount of garbage including everything from discarded dog waste in bags tossed into the river to mattresses, sleeping bags, shopping carts, car parts and even fishermen’s waste items like line, floats and bait containers. Every helping handis appreciated and the river needs you.
