Last year, a group of 25 to 30 volunteers from ACT for Disarmament and other environ- mental groups headed by Dankowich, picked up two tonnes of garbage from the shore of Bronte Creek under the QEW. The waterways clean-up is endorsed by 28 local organizations including local businesses, resi- dents groups and environmental concerns. Participants are being asked to bring rakes, however bags and gloves will be provided. In the interests of recycling, each person will be given three bags, to collect and separate the cans, glass, and garbage. Volunteers can meet at any of the five locations anytime during the day, added Dankowich. "We're expecting at least 150 volunteers to help us with this clean-up," says Stephen Dankowich director of the Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights. 5.

"I was shocked at the mess under the QEW overpass when I checked the area last Tuesday," commented Terra Dimock, who is organizing this Saturday's clean-up. UNUSED SYRINGES The group found "lots and lots of those coffee cups and plastic lids - the lids become brittle over the winter and when you try to pick one up it breaks into about 40 shards . . . definitely not biodegradable mate- rial." Also picked up were bottles, cans, empty cigarette packages, tiles, bricks. some furniture and tires, "and a box of unused syringes." garbage that's permeating the shores of our waterways," said Dankowich, stressing that the two tonnes of garbage came from only 75 metres along the creek in a one- day clean-up hampered by rain.

Booked to date are Dr. John Bacher, a drainage commis- sioner and chair of the Niagara Agricultural Preservation Society; Michelle Swenarchuck. a lawyer with the Canadian Environmental at the Oakville Central Library, to explore the "issue of water as our most precious and valuable resource." "We've had excellent response. I spoke to a gym full of kids at Chisholm and they had so many questions about water pollution and water conservation that I was run- ning out of time to finish my talk." WATER FOR LIFE The Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights is also organizing a Water for Life conference next Saturday. April 24th. the end of Earth Week, community participation in the clean-up has included speaking to Grade 3, 4 and 5 students at Chisholm and Sunningdale Schools, with more visits to schools planned.
