Enhance employee engagement by hosting a Shoreline Cleanup
This year, more than 55,000 Canadians are registered to clean over 1,800 shorelines through the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, presented by Loblaw Companies Limited. A conservation initiative of WWF-Canada and the Vancouver Aquarium, the cleanup has grown to become the largest direct-action environmental program in Canada.
Each year, passionate employees across the country take action against shoreline litter by organizing cleanups with their workplaces. There’s still time this year to take advantage of both the environmental and business benefits of organizing your very own corporate cleanup!
