McNabs Island Cleanup Cancelled Again!

The McNabs and Lawlor Islands Cleanup scheduled for Sunday June 15 is
cancelled due to poor weather and a small craft warning for Halifax Harbour.
Rained out for three weeks in a row, the Beach Cleanup will NOT be
re-scheduled.

For twelve years the Friends of McNabs Island Society has keep the beaches
of McNabs and Lawlor Islands clean. Each year the society organizes a
cleanup of debris that has washed ashore over the winter. Since 1991,
Friends of McNabs Island volunteers have collected approximately 7,000 bags
of garbage from McNabs and Lawlor Islands.  This is the second time in
twelve years that the cleanup had to be cancelled due to poor weather.

For more information about the beach cleanup or other McNabs Island
activities call 477-0187 or 463-4761 or visit: www.mcnabsisland.ca
