The Elk River Alliance is hosting the annual Elk River Shoreline Clean Up event this World Rivers Day.

Show some love for the river that’s given us so much this summer. ERA will be providing gloves, garbage bags, snacks, and meet at the clean up locations.

The event will run in Fernie, Sparwood, and Elkford, with additional locations of special cleaning need added later (e.g., Silver Spring Lakes).

BC and World Rivers Day 2023 is set for Sunday, September 24. Rivers Day is the world’s largest celebration of rivers and the many communities and lifeforms they sustain, and it evolved from one cleanup on the Thompson River!
