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/
