I went back to the new marina to clean the east shoreline side , starting at the free dock and going east.

Oil drum garbage containers.

Close up of the garbage I found. Fishing hooks.

The garbage I cleaned up. One bag about to go into the oil drum.

 

The two oil drum garbage containers near the dock are full of garbage. Will they add a third oil drum as a solution?

Later this day I went to my old neighbourhood, to a park called Park du College. It is behind or north of the Cégep Gérald-Godin.

I cleaned the shoreline of the garbage I could see. I again filled one medium sized bag full of garbage, and picked up some rusty metal.

 I found a suitcase full of wet and muddy women's clothing and necessities on the shoreline.

Wet and muddy suitcase.

  I went through it looking for identification or money and did not find any. So a failed runaway young teen? Anyways I threw the whole thing out.

The other garbage I cleaned up that went into the oil drum garbage containers, including the machined wood.

 

Two pretty full oil  drum garbage containers.

 

 

  The solution to the beginning of summer's TOO MUCH GARBAGE was to add a second oil drum garbage container. With these two both  FULL, will they now add a THIRD oil drum container?

Rapides de Cap St Jacques

September 13, 2025

 I cleaned at the Cap St Jacques rapids. I cleaned up lots of fishing line and three or more lead weights.

As it was the weekend there were lots of people there. It was difficult to see the fishing  line at first, "you" have to spend a minute or so in the same location and close to the ground to see it. 

*Sorry I have not uploaded any new content of late. I have been having such a busy summer ( with little rain to stay inside)  outside that I have not found the time to (fight with my computer) upload photos and make blog posts.

The fishing line I cleaned up.

 June 17, 2025 I cleaned the shoreline at

Park Anciens-Combattants

 

I collected-made my first (small) bag of garbage in about ten minutes and had to get a standard black garbage bag to continue. At noon my watch alerted me and I wrapped up the cleaning. It was hot!

The city garbage containers are all full. I will return in a week to see if they have emptied them.

I cleaned at Park Paquin again. I took a video the day before of the  garbage that returned to the shoreline but have to find it and stick it here.

Here are the (still) photos I took of the day.

April 27 2025

 I cleaned the shoreline at park Paquin April 27, 2025.

I took a video of the 1) start/introduction, and 2) the work of cleaning on the flooded shoreline.

At this time the video is at a one to one time ratio. I hope to learn the editing skills to speed up the cleaning and make videos more entertaining.

If you like the sounds of birds, there are some bird sounds  of the birds that live in the area while I clean.

Sorry , I have no dedicated nature photo for today. The introduction video has NATURE.

End of the evening cleaning. The garbage I cleaned about to go into the city container.

I cleaned at the no name Park that has access to the river , that is just a bit north of Park Paquin. 

Not enough garbage to photograph.

Tiny blue flowers are coming out of the earth in several places. You have to look for them.

If the garbage was there you don't see the blue flowers, so I am happy to clean up.
