eARTH DAY COMMUNITY CLEANUP – April 26-27
Celebrate Earth Day as we work to remove litter from public parks and trails in Waterloo during our annual city-wide cleanup from April 26 to 28, 2019. In the past, the OSSCC has participated so we are asking volunteers to come forward and represent the Club. If anyone is interested in taking the lead on this worthwhile project and/or would like to participate, please contact info@oldsaltsclub.com to get the ball rolling. Your support would be greatly appreciated!
annual stocking of the Conestoga river
Last year, several of our members participated in the annual stocking of the Conestoga River. This year, the stocking will take place on May 8th and May 9th. This is a rain or shine event, but in the event of high water may be cancelled as safety is paramount for volunteers.
Volunteers will be meeting on both days at the Macton access between 9:30 – 10:00 am to break into groups and receive instructions prior to the stocking tanker’s arrival. Total fish around 16,000.
Fish on Wed. the 8th will be all stocked with pails, while on Thurs. the 9th we will be using canoes and pails. If you would like to participate, please let the organizer know. His contact info is: Brad Knarr. His email is: rogue_wave@hotmail.com. Since club canoes won’t be available May 9th because of the Hespeler Pond canoe trip, you would need to bring own.
What to bring: 1) a friend 2) camera 3) sunscreen 4) hat 5) sunglasses 6) weather appropriate clothing 7) boots, waders 8) snacks, beverages (water, pop will be supplied.
This is a rain or shine event, so please contact Brad if you plan on attending, which days,and if you can bring a canoe so he can get an idea of numbers for planning purposes. Last year, those who participated had a great time.
For anyone trying to contact Brad, the email has been corrected to be: rogue_wave@hotmail.com
