2/2 Megan is raising awareness about the orca protection measures, new regulations to avoid spreading aquatic invasive species & spill prevention

1/2 We had an opportunity to share our work with MP Joyce Murray @joycemurraymp’s as part of her Canada Summer Job (CSJ) tour! Here she is at @royalvanyc with our “Dock Walker” Megan Raitt (far right), whose position is CSJ-funded.
Hi everyone! Please help us spread the word that we have Clean Boater kits - but not enough Volunteer Dock Walkers to distribute them and we are looking for help! Thanks!

The Clean Drain Dry advice we have been giving for years in our clean boating guide is now the law. New orders effective immediately will help keep invasive mussels and whirling disease out of B.C. waterways.
