Vedder Mountain Trails Association members representing Fraser Valley Mountain Bike Association, Back Country Horseman of BC, Vedder Running Club, Pacific Northwest Motorcycle Associatian, and Chilliwack Outdoor Club cooperated to make the April 9 cleanup day organized by FVMBA reps a complete success.
Individuals from these groups lent more than 700 man-hours of volunteer labour to the effort. This mammoth effort yeilded 2.7 metric tonnes of garbage that did not include metal, tires and other recyclables.
While it is discouraging that we need to continue to bust our humps keeping our playground pristine, the amount of enthusiam applied to this problem was overwhelming. Thank yous must be extended to our local Ministry of Tourism, Sport and Arts recreation representative Brian Radke who generously supplied funding for the dumpsters and landfill fees for a second year. Harvey Adrian from MacDonald's supplied coupons, and Jack's Cycles supplied food, barbequing skills and some swag. There were many, many others that helped in significant ways. You know who you are and your efforts are appreciated.
