Volunteers for ZIP

On Behalf of Rakshann of the Comité Zone D’Intervention Prioritaire (ZIP) of Ville Marie

Greetings!
I am working for the “Comité Zone d'Intervention Prioritaire “ (ZIP) of Ville Marie. It is an organisation dedicated to the protection of water in which I’m actively looking for volunteers for a project called “My Own Beach”. http://www.mapropreplage.net/

The goal of this project is to encourage local citizens to organize shoreline cleanups and involvement in the early detection of riparian problems. We need to complete the first part of the program before November 1st, and that involves the confirmation of 5 volunteers. Groves, Covens, etc. are welcomed to come as a group inclusively. Supplies will be given such as gloves, bags, and lifts to and from the chosen location. All that is needed is leaders to coordinate their group.

If you are interested here is what’s needed:
- Minimum of 5 volunteers wanting to lead the activities;
- The clean-up day is yours to choose between May and June of 2010;
- A morning or an afternoon is all that is needed to make a positive impact for the environment and the community;
- We supply the necessary equipment for clean-up (gloves; bags; etc) ;
- We provide lifts to and from the chosen location (available on the website below);
- Deadline November 1st for confirmation

We’re looking forward to hearing from you at info@zipvillemarie.org

Sincerely,
Rakshann

This project is being carried out, in part, thanks to a contribution from the Community Interaction Program. Funding for this joint program, which is related to the St. Lawrence Plan for a Sustainable Development, is shared by Environment Canada and the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs du Québec. Fisheries and Oceans Canada also provided technical and financial support to the project.

The St. Lawrence Plan—For a Sustainable Development is managed by a Canada-Quebec cooperative agreement, whose objectives are to favour an integrated management of the St. Lawrence, to respect the environment within economic activities, to obtain the commitment of various community groups, and to achieve a clear, integrated and concerted governance of the St. Lawrence.
