Thanks to all the volunteers who have helped out!
Because our residents enjoy a waterfront lifestyle, it is a great opportunity to make the Cape a cleaner place to live, work and play. As our Canalwatch members know the canals of Cape Coral can unfortunately accumulate debris. Our canals serve as stormwater treatment and as the stormwater moves over land, it picks up and carries away litter and debris, eventually depositing them into our canals. Please consider joining in the cleanup. We've all seen cigarette butts, fishing line, even large items like bicycles. Now is a great opportunity to provide a great community service. Volunteers may choose to help with the cleanup on foot, kayaks, or by boat. Check in for the cleanup will be at 8 am and the event will last until 11am. Gloves, trash bags, and pickers will be provided for volunteers. Please plan on bringing your own water, sunscreen, and bug spray. If you are at a waterway cleanup site you must provide your own watercraft.
