In 2015, the event received an overwhelmingly positive response as 42 people gathered to clean up trash illegally dumped at remote locations in Halfmoon Bay and Sechelt.
Oct. 22 and 23 is the Apple Festival weekend. Apples are ripening now, so if you have any to share with the big copper kettle, they will be put to good use. Also on the want list is cured maple firewood that goes under the big kettle. Bring apples and firewood to the back door of Dolphin Physio and Fitness, #102 - 5711 Mermaid St., Sechelt. Or call Katie at 604-885-2969 to arrange for pick up. Applefest weekend also has the Boogie, Brats and Beer dance at Coopers Green, on the Saturday.
To have your say at the bay, contact me before 5 p.m. Monday at [email protected] or 604-885-5034.
