2020 Wrap Up

 

Well folx, that's a wrap. Year 9 of ARR is in the books. It has been a strange and challenging year for everyone. We missed the first half of our cleanup season due to COVID, but we more than made up for it in the fall with multiple cleanups each month, capped off with a terrific effort at Harrison Park. CBC featured our work in a story that you can find here: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1824956995560

In April we will celebrate the opening of our 10th year by participating in the annual Thames River Cleanup (date TBD). Stay tuned for updates and bulletins, and most importantly, have a wonderful holiday season. 

Stay safe and take care of yourselves. 

See you at the river!

October Cleanup Thanks!

Thanks to those who came out to help with our October cleanup and a great thanks to. While Covid may have restricted the number of people who can join in the effort, it hasn't dampened the spirit to get out there and clean the place up!
