UPDATE – 2020 Rivers Day Cleanup – 3.1 MT of Garbage Picked Up By Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society Volunteers

Chilliwack – The Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society still had their cleanup of the river, celebrating BC Rivers Day Cleanup, but it had a major and obvious difference.

The Society’s river cleanup for BC Rivers Day Sunday, September 27th was at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Club.

The focus was from the Vedder Bridge and up Chilliwack Lake Road.
