That's awesome. If I didn't live 1.5 hours away, and if I wasn't in exams right now I would be there. Pretty surprising to see C.O.s picking up garbage but at the same time am very happy and all the while makes me respect those guys even more for what they do.

Once again good on you Chris. Maybe next time the Canucks team store could supply you with a new hoody!  ;)

Great to see quick helping hands on short notice. Pant on the back to all and especially to you Chris for taking the initiative!

Material was taken to the landfill today. Total weight 610 kg that will not be floating down the Fraser River.

Just a reminder of the Chilliwack Vedder Cleanup tomorrow, some help still needed.

Love to help... but my son has a ball hockey game at 9 and then a boy scout bottle drive to help in the afternoon.

Here is a brief clip I filmed of the cleanup of the smashed camper. Glad we got it before the rising waters of the Fraser did.

Reporter did a very good job.
Nicely written up.

Not only is this news for the readers  but it also acts as a learning tool for those young & old that it is not cool to dump stuff just any where.

Hopefully the guilty party did read the newspaper article & feels guilty thus will not do such a selfish act in the future.

For about 5 yrs in a row someone aprox 3 times a year dumps 5 black garbage bags or so in our area.
Neighbors just let them sit there & birds / racoons maybe ??? start picking at the bags & garbage gets spread.

Finally after seeing it sit there for 2-3 wks someone cleans it up.
Once a bag was left closest to our home ; picked it up after 3 days.

Did not want to pick it up same day thus "maybe" whoever will decide to dump bag(s) always near our place  ;D

Litter bugs boo !!!!! People are like apples in the barrel.

Some so sweet & nice & others "rotten" (character)

Folks phone that ### ( in newspaper article ) should ya see garbage dumped near creeks lakes & rivers.

Just got an update on the amount taken to the landfill it was 1010 kg not 610kg. The total that we were given was for just one of the truck loads.
