Canadian Shoreline Cleanup kicked-off this weekend at Toronto\u2019s Woodbine Beach.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers from across the country are gathering on shorelines from September 15\u201323 for the event, which cleaned over 3,000 kilometres of shoreline last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t realize how gross the beach was today until I actually started cleaning it,\u201d said participant Jade Boyle.<\/p>\n<p>At Woodbine Beach, nearly 200 volunteers collected more than 23,000 cigarette butts and almost 300 kilograms of garbage and recycling.Diapers, socks, bottles, and even a discarded sleeping bag where among some of the items that were taken from the beach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really trying to get people to change their attitudes,\u201d said Susan Debreceni, Shoreline Cleanup\u2019s volunteer engagement coordinator.The Shoreline Cleanup has teamed up with WWF Canada and several corporate sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Maas, director of the Fresh Water Program at WWF, says working with corporations is often a good way forward. \u201cAt WWF we start from the position of sound science and often we find solutions that are amenable to both industry and the environment,\u201d Maas said.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat said, there are also bottom lines,\u201d he added, pointing to WWF\u2019s opposition to the Northern Gateway Pipeline, which would run through Great Bear Rainforest.<\/p>\n<p>Maas also warns that there are many pollutants that are unseen. \u201cWe come from an era of expectation that governments are looking after all this for us and I can assure that in many cases they are not,\u201d Maas said.<\/p>\n<p>The kick-off event also featured RBC Olympian Valerie Hould-Marchand, who won a silver medal in synchronized swimming at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>After a couple of hours of cleaning the beach Hould-Marchand and her team collected more than 600 cigarette butts and two large bags of garbage and recycling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the key is: get involved, get your hands dirty, get into your shores and your water and start to care,\u201d Hould-Marchand said.<\/p>\n<p>There are more than
