A group of youth from the FUN Society summer camp joined with the Greater Victoria Green Team to clean up Gonzales Beach in what has become an annual August event.
The youth, along with volunteers from the The Land Conservancy and the community, scoured the beach in Fairfield at low tide last Thursday, scooping up all manner of items left behind by beach users or washed up on shore.
Amanda Evans, program manager for the Green Team, said Gonzales Beach has seen a reduction in the amount of larger garbage found by their teams since they began coming there in 2015.
