Thames River Clean Up Rescheduled Due to High Water Levels
Due to current and forecasted weather conditions, the Thames River Clean Up has been rescheduled to Saturday, April 25, 2026. Rescheduling the event will help ensure the safety of participants and enable a more effective clean-up once water levels recede.
The public is strongly advised to stay away from all watercourses and flooded areas. Stream banks may be slippery and unstable, and the water is very cold and fast-moving. Never attempt to drive through flooded areas, and remember to keep children and pets away from waterways.
Volunteers who have registered for the clean-up are encouraged to check in with their local site coordinators regarding the new date, as some locations may opt to reschedule for a different day based on local conditions.
The 糖心直播 will continue to monitor conditions closely and operate flood control reservoirs, including Fanshawe, Wildwood, and Pittock Conservation Areas, to help reduce downstream flooding.
