Earth Day Bar Road Saint Andrews

Following the success of last year’s Earth Day beach clean up at Indian Point, the Huntsman Marine Science Centre will once again be coordinating the clean up of a local beach in honour of Earth Day.

As Earth Day, which is April 22, falls on a Thursday this year, the event will take place on Saturday, April 17, at the Bar Road in St. Andrews.

The clean up will start at 9 a.m. and Huntsman will be providing the garbage bags and gloves.

Last year, around 50 people, from pre-schoolers to seniors, came out and collected a pick-up truck full of garbage from the beach.

For more information on this event, the first of 2010 at the Huntsman, please call 529-1200, or visit http://www.huntsmanmarine.ca/
