Friends of Cortes Island
Comox Strathcona Waste Management, Klahoose Aquaculture, and Friends of Cortes Island are organizing a huge whole island BEACH CLEAN UP!
Right now, we are asking you to get out there and clean up your beloved beaches. Going for a beach walk? Why not pick up garbage as you go?
Super sacks will be available near some beach access points. So, you can drop off garbage there, the recycling centre, or store it at home. Here’s where the sacks are
Hanks Beach Regional Park
Seascape Beach Access
Red Granite Beach Access
Hollyhock Beach
Hayes Road Beach Access
Plunger Pass Beach Access (Seavista)
The Recycling Centre
On Sat June 6th 10am-12.30pm you can bring any beach garbage you have collected to an Ocean Legacy Bin set up at the Klahoose Aquaculture Building (across from the health centre). Help with sorting is appreciated!
We hope you will join in the fun, get the garbage off the beaches, out of the ocean, and ... off to be recycled! Thanks to all our partners!
