Who We Are

The TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is one of the largest conservation initiatives of the Vancouver Aquarium.  What started in 1994 as a small beach cleanup conducted by a handful of Vancouver Aquarium employees has now grown into the second largest cleanup in the world (The U.S. is in first place - for now!)

Powered by Canadians, this program allows people from all regions and all walks of life to make a positive difference to their environment. Last year alone, over 63,000 Canadians registered for the
TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, and in only one week participants removed
135,467 kg of litter from 1,280 shorelines.

The Vancouver Aquarium, with the help of our tremendous founding partner,
TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, work every year to ensure that we're reaching as many communities as possible, but we don't do it alone. We are joined by dedicated conservation partners, provincial sponsors, and donors. For more information on who works with us, go to our Sponsors Page.

Our year round staff work out of the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park and a satellite office in Toronto, Ontario. To speak to a staff member, call our toll free line at 1-877-427-2422.
