Annual shoreline cleanup seeking volunteers

Last year the annual beach clean-up saw 175 volunteers remove 480 pounds of litter from the Goderich shoreline.

Lake Huron Coastal Centre (LHCC) is organizing the annual beach clean up at St. Christopher’s Beach in Goderich for Saturday, April 26.

In celebration of Earth Day, this family-friendly event offers a chance for the community to reduce plastic pollution on Lake Huron.

Last year, the LHCC saw 175 volunteers remove an impressive 480 pounds of litter from the Goderich shoreline.

This year, LHCC hopes to make an even greater impact in preserving the health of Lake Huron.

The LHCC is a non-profit organization dedicated to the health of Lake Huron’s coastal ecosystem through education, research and community engagement.

Their programs offer communities a chance to connect with nature and participate in hands-on conservation efforts.

This year, the LHCC extends a heartfelt thank-you to the Tanner Steffler Foundation, Zehrs, Rotaract Club of Goderich, Yoga Den, and generous sponsors Goderich Port Management Corporation (GPMC), Royal LePage Heartland Realty Homefield Group and Compass Minerals.

These agencies, organizations and businesses have continued to support this annual community event. Sponsors help fund important conservation programs and also demonstrates their commitment to protecting Lake Huron’s environment.
