G.R.A.B. (Garbage Removal for Area Beautification)

The Cornwall Waterfront G.R.A.B. is a local clean-up initiative that was held the last two weeks of April and will be repeated in September. This spring's clean-up targeted the Cornwall waterfront between Rotary Creek and Legion Park, and was very successful thanks to more than 100 participants of all ages. In many cases, the garbage clean up was paired with a one hour educational component which was lead by River Institute’s staff. Thanks to everyone for doing such a great job cleaning up our waterfront!
