Campbell River Storm Players Join Urgent Beach Cleanup Effort

URGENT UPDATE: Just hours ago, the Campbell River Storm hockey team traded their usual workout for a crucial environmental mission, helping to clean up debris at Willow Point Beach. This initiative is part of a larger effort organized by the Rotary Club of Campbell River to address the aftermath of a massive dock that washed ashore near Adams Park.

The cleanup, taking place on September 18, is timely as the storm season approaches. Rotarians previously removed large styrofoam blocks from the dock, which, if left unchecked, would break down into harmful particles along the shoreline. Wes Roed, the director of hockey operations for the Storm, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute, stating, “The Campbell River Storm are always looking for opportunities to give back to our tremendous community.”

This urgent cleanup effort not only enhances the beauty of the area but also protects local wildlife and marine environments. The team’s involvement underscores the importance of community engagement and environmental stewardship.

Local officials and residents are rallying around this initiative, recognizing the immediate need to maintain the health of their coastal ecosystems. As storms loom, the urgency of this cleanup cannot be overstated.

Residents and fans are encouraged to share their support for the Campbell River Storm and the Rotary Club’s efforts on social media, amplifying the message of community responsibility and environmental protection.

Stay tuned for further updates on the progress of this vital cleanup and how you can get involved.
