Going above and beyond the call of duty was what the 552 Key City Air Cadets were doing on Saturday, September 24, in support of the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-Up.

To show environmental stewardship and love of our town, we pitched in some time and effort to clean up a few sections of Joseph Creek.

There were some strange items found, including what used to be a bicycle and a terracotta “sun” ornament (that was still smiling at us). Along with the disgusting trash that we found in the creek, this year it was noted that there was a lot less of it compared to last years’ clean up.

It is proving to us that we are making a difference and that gives us a lot of pride in our clean-up efforts. Over all, it was a fun day of cleaning up the water, some laughs and a few wet feet, from a few who were willing to step down into the creek for the sake of removing garbage.
