The Lake Huron Coastal Centre is set to kick off Earth Week with a burst of environmental activism, inviting all eager volunteers to join in the upcoming beach cleanup event on Saturday, (April 20th), from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Christopher’s Beach in Goderich.
Alyssa Bourassa, interim executive director, says that last year’s event saw an impressive turnout, and this year, organizers aim to build on that success.
Looking ahead, plans are underway for a fall beach cleanup in Sarnia, with details to be announced soon. Additionally, the Coastal Conservation Youth Corps will embark on educational expeditions in Port Elgin and Kincardine this summer, empowering young participants to explore and protect the wonders of Lake Huron.
Bourassa also says that quality of beaches is absolutely crucial to tourism.

The Goderich Beach Cleanup stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and community spirit. Supported by invaluable partnerships with organizations such as the Tanner Steffler Foundation, local businesses, and dedicated sponsors, the event serves as the Lake Huron Coastal Centre’s largest fundraiser of the year.
Beyond its environmental impact, the cleanup offers a tangible outlet for environmental stewardship.
As volunteers gear up to roll up their sleeves and tackle litter, the Goderich Beach Cleanup exemplifies the spirit of grassroots environmental activism, inviting residents and visitors alike to join hands in protecting the natural splendor of Lake Huron’s shores.
