BC Ferries Supports Annual Shoreline Cleanup and Microplastic Reduction

environment · Denman Island shorelines

BC Ferries participates in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup and has banned single-use plastics on its fleet. The company is prepared to provide work boats to assist in annual beach cleanups on Denman Island, including harder-to-access areas.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
