A trip to Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest, by WWF’s Freshwater Ambassador and NHL Great, Scott Niedermayer

It was the middle of September. My former NHL teammates were gearing up to start their pre-season games, and I was up a creek.

I mean that literally: I was standing in the middle of a salmon stream on the Great Bear coast.

The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup in White Rock

Saturday September 17, 2011 found us on the rocky shores of the Coldicutt Trail in White Rock for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Papa Plumbing chose this area for our cleanup mainly because there was no one signed up for this area. This was Papa Plumbing’s first year coordinating a clean-up.

Toronto Argo helps kids keep shorelines clean

The sun was shining, the ducks were quacking, and a group of school children was marveling at the two gentle giants that stood before them on a beautiful Canadian shoreline. This was the scene at Toronto’s Cherry Beach yesterday as we brought the Panda mascot and Toronto Argonaut, 6’8″ Joe Eppele, out for a mini-cleanup with some school kids to raise awareness for our upcoming Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.

A week of work I hoped would never end

Have you ever had one of those weeks at work you hoped would never end? I recently did. But of course it’s not every week I get to join researchers on a week-long expedition angling, tagging, and collecting data on Canada’s largest freshwater fish, the Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens).

The dedicated site coordinators of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup

Last year, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup saw 98,000 kilograms of litter cleared from Canada’s shorelines. That’s a lot of garbage. This feat could not have been accomplished if it weren’t for the hundreds of dedicated volunteers who organize these cleanups and mobilize their friends, families, co-workers and schools to help out – the site coordinators.
