I went to Whitehorse rapids /Rapids du cheval blanc and cleaned the shoreline near the official park. One standard black garbage bag was filled. No photos because I forgot my camera. I found the usual garbage of used/discarded fishing line from fisher-fools and Tim Horton coffee containers and beer containers. I found four or more brand new fishing hooks on the shoreline that I put in a used beer can so no one gets stuck. Of NOTE: I recovered two intact glass beer bottles ( one large, one small) that were in the river , recovered BEFORE they broke on the rocks. Many Canadian geese are in the area now. I accidentally scared away a grand Heron when doing the cleaning on the western side. He/she was hunting for fish or frogs that are on the shoreline. Surprising to me , the river level height has increased during the past days that I was away.
