A Warm Welcome!

Thank you for visiting Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Coalition! CVRCC is a nonprofit coalition that is formed by a group of dedicated people who regularly use the Chilliwack/Vedder River for recreational purposes. Our goal is to keep this magnificent river clean so its beauty will still be appreciated by many generations to come.

On this website, you will be able to gather important information such as our upcoming cleanup events, Adopt-a-River program and tips that you may use to improve your local watershed's health. If you utilize the Chilliwack Vedder River frequently, we encourage you to join us in our regular cleanups. Your support is important to CVRCC.

Second River Cleanup of 2010!

Approximately 100 people came out on Sat. July 24 for our 29th river cleanup. A beautiful, sunny day greeted us and we had two registration sites available for our volunteers to enjoy some coffee, juice, muffins and donuts provided by one of our sponsors, Tim Hortons, before heading out to the river. Several of our Directors had toured over 60 km of river this week to check out the sites where most of the work needed to be done. The good news is that generally, we found overall that the areas were not as bad as usual. That is, no major dump sites or campsites that had been left. Still lots of litter, couches, tires etc, enough to keep our great volunteers busy for a few hours.

Again, a great thank you to all our volunteers on another job well done.

Our next cleanup will be our BC Rivers Day Celebration on Sunday September 26, 2010 with registration at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Club on Chilliwack Lake Road. This is our 9th Annual Celebration and is now part of World Rivers Day. Hope to see you there!
