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 2019 and 2020 river canoeing courses by Elements Adventure Co.!)This year’s clean-up takes place on the Upper Middle Shuswap River, beginning at the Meadows campground in Cherryville, and heading downstream to Wilsey Hydro Dam and the Mabel Lake Community Hall. Volunteers will clean up the Meadows campground on foot, then paddle 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, followed by chili and hot drinks provided by the Mabel Lake Community Club.
Registration is required for this event. For this, or further information see the Elements Adventure Co. website, or call or text 250-308-8924.
