The shores of Rainy River are a little cleaner today, thanks in part of the students from J.W. Walker School in Fort Frances.
Teacher Angela Petsnick says about forty students picked up garbage as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-Up.
"Last year we picked up a lot of cigarette butts along the river front," says Petsnick, "A lot food wrappers and plastic bottles. Sometimes we find some weird things like a seagull or a skunk. We pick up everything."
This is the sixth year the school has participated in the Canada-wide clean-up.
