Cultus Lake Earth Day clean-up organized by Green Party candidate
Event Tuesday, April 22 at 4 p.m. at Main Beach
Chilliwack-Hope Green Party candidate Salina Derish will be leading a clean-up in the lake and shoreline around Main Beach at Cultus Lake today, Earth Day, April 22, 2025.
Billed as a Cultus Lake Clean-Up and Green Party Meet and Greet, the Chilliwack entrepreneur and community advocate who also free dives in the lake is inviting people to join her. Divers will be cleaning litter from beneath the water’s surface while volunteers help clean up along the shoreline and surrounding areas.
“Whether you're a local eco-hero or just want to lend a hand, every piece of garbage collected makes a difference,” Derish said in a press release. “Let’s clean up our lake and spark change together – above and below the surface.”
The clean-up goes from 4 to 6 p.m. then community members are invited to stick around to see the trash collected and have an opportunity to meet Derish.
“Bring your questions, ideas, and community spirit,” Derish said. “This is a great chance to connect, learn more about clean waterways, and talk about environmental issues that matter to you.”
