Wow, we can’t believe it! — swipe to look at how many spray paint cans we removed from Maple Ridge Park! 🗑️

With the help of over 13 volunteers, we removed over 5 1/2 garbage bags worth of garbage and recycling from Maple Ridge Park. The materials we found the most were:

- confetti
- snack wrappers
- bottle caps
- cigarettes
- fast food waste (Tim Hortons, Five guys, McDonald’s, Starbucks, etc)
- drink containers (pop bottles, juice containers, energy drinks)
- paint cans
- paint trays
- spray paint cans
- fishing line

We found over 120 spray paint bottles from under the bridge, along with paint trays, paint cans, paint rollers, foam and there was still more to remove! We were shocked at just how much waste was put into the rocks and discarded haphazardly.

We’re grateful to our awesome volunteers who joined us on this rainy Saturday to help keep our community clean and remove as much litter as we could from the environment!

March 22nd is #WorldWaterDay, a global reminder of the importance of freshwater and the need to protect this precious resource. Clean water is essential for people, wildlife, and ecosystems, yet pollution, climate change, and overuse threaten its availability.

Did you know?
Salmon rely on clean, cold water to survive, but rising temperatures and pollution are threatening their populations. With less than 1% of Earth's water available as freshwater, every drop is precious—not just for people, but for the ecosystems that depend on it. In the Pacific Northwest, over 85% of historic salmon habitat has been lost or degraded due to human activity, making conservation efforts more critical than ever. Even something as small as a single piece of litter in a stream can leach harmful chemicals, further impacting aquatic life. Protecting our waterways means protecting salmon, wildlife, and the health of our planet.

Here’s how you can make a difference:
💙 Reduce water waste – turn off taps & fix leaks
🌿 Choose native plants – they require less water
🚯 Keep waterways clean – prevent litter & pollution
🐟 Protect aquatic habitats – healthy rivers mean healthy fish populations

Water connects us all -- Let’s work together to protect it!
