SUMMARY:Annual fall Shoreline Clean-up
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_16542" align="alignright" width="300"] Click to view poster[/caption]\n\nIt's fall shoreline cleanup time again and the Lake Windermere Ambassadors are calling for volunteers to tidy up the public shoreline around our lake so it's safe and ready to go for all the great wintertime activities that take place on and around it.\n\nWear comfortable shoes and layer your clothes. Bags and gloves will be provided.\n\nPromptly at 10 AM\, there will be an orientation and kick-off and then teams will be sent off to various locations. At noon\, we will be doing a bag count and litter tally and then there will be a waste-free picnic lunch at the beach\, thanks to the generosity of the Rocky River Grill.\n\nGet your family and friends excited to be a part of this great event - the old saying that "many hands make light work" really is true! You may not think there's much you\, as an individual\, can do to help alleviate the pollution of the world's water systems but -  being a participant in the annual fall shoreline cleanup one thing you can do!\n\n[su_note note_color="#ededd7"]\nDid you know?\nOur Lake Windermere Shore Cleanup is part of a nation-wide event\, presented by Loblaw Companies Limited and led by the Vancouver Aquarium and the Worldwide Wildlife Federation. You will be among the tens of thousands of Canadians  participating in one of the largest direct action environmental programs in Canada and the third largest cleanup in the world!\n\nHere are some stats from the 2015 cleanup event:\n\n[su_list icon="icon: arrow-right" icon_color="#f69d01"]\n\n \tnumber of sites cleaned up - 2\,016\n \ttotal shoreline distance cleaned - 3\,211km\n \tnumber of bags filled - 15\,776\n \ttotal weight of the bags - 175\,932 kg\n \tnumber of participants - 59\,136\n\n[/su_list]\n\nAnd look at what they found!
