Read my latest update on engagement and enforcement activities at Tommy Thompson Park and the Leslie Street Spit.
Dear Friends,
I hope you are well.
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is hosting a Community Litter Clean-up Day at Tommy Thompson Park on Saturday, April 27th as part of their Earth Day programming.
Help remove floatable litter from the shoreline and waterways of Tommy Thompson Park while learning about floatable litter and microplastics and their impacts on the health of our aquatic ecosystems. Learn more and register here.
Recent enforcement and engagement activities are as follows:
