Calling all volunteers with canoes, kayaks, SUP's or other human powered craft!
We need your help to clean up the Middle Shuswap River. It's FREE, fun, and a great way to paddle this beautiful river with some wonderful people. Please register.
(Participants receive a 10% discount on all 2018 and 2019 river canoeing courses by Elements Adventure !)
This year’s clean-up takes place on the Middle Shuswap River, beginning at the Mabel Lake Community Hall and heading downstream toward Mabel Lake. Volunteers will clean up on foot in the area below Wilsey Dam, while those who wish to paddle will head downstream. Anyone with a human-powered watercraft is welcome to join in (prior river paddling experience is recommended; safety information will be provided). Charles will have canoes and safety equipment available for rent for those who reserve them in advance.
The event ends about 4:00pm back at the Hall. Chili and hot drinks will be provided by the Mabel Lake Community Club.
Registration is required for this event. For this, or further information see the Elements Adventures website, or call or text 250-308-8924.
