The UVic Scuba Club has teamed up with the Surfrider Foundation this year for the annual shoreline beach clean up event.  Every year ocean advocates come together to create awareness about debris left on our beaches and deposited in our oceans.  This debris harms aquatic life, leaves un-natural chemicals in our waters, and adds to the great pacific garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean.

We encourage you to join us on Sept. 25th at 11am at Cadboro Bay to clean our local beaches.  It is a great way to meet new people, while helping to create a more sustainable environment.  

If you would like more details on coming out to the event or finding more information about the Surfrider Foundation, please email us.

When: Sun, September 25, 11am – 1pm
Where: Craigflower Park at the corner of Admirals Rd. and Gorge Rd. W (map)
Description: Join the OSS and UVic SCUBA club as they participate in the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-up. 
How to get to the park you ask? From UVic take the #14 bus to Admirals and Craigflower and walk across the bridge or take the #11 to craigflower park at Admirals Rd. and Gorge Rd. W
