Since 2008 Fraser Riverkeeper (FRK) and community partners in Chilliwack have cleaned 26.5 tonnes of garbage from the banks of the Fraser, preventing it from being carried into the river by high water during the spring freshet. On April 20th FRK is again partnering with Woodtone Industries, the City of Chilliwack, Rotz Disposal, Habitat Conservation Trust, RBC the and many other community partners, organizations and volunteers to help clean up habitat near Gill Bar, a sensitive spawning area for Chinook salmon.

When: April 20, 2013, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
