Toronto Police Marine Unit and Toronto Fire Services dive-in to encourage
    Torontonians to help protect Canada's environment

    TORONTO, Sept. 13 /CNW/ -

    WHAT:  What does a rickshaw, chair, skateboard, and luggage have in
           common? They were all found at the bottom of Lake Ontario last
           fall as part of the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.

           To kick start this year's nationwide cleanup event and encourage
           Torontonians to participate at the Woodbine Beach Park cleanup on
           September 15th, the Toronto Police Marine Unit and Toronto Fire
           Services will dive into Lake Ontario once again in search of
           harmful debris and aquatic litter, and the results promise to be
           an eye opener.

           The TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup was created by the
           Vancouver Aquarium and has been operating for more than 12 years.
           Today, it is one of the largest conservation initiatives in the
           country. With a record number of registrations this year,
           participants will clean up more than 1,000 shorelines along
           rivers, streams, lakes, oceans and wetlands in every region of
           Canada from September 15 through 23, 2007. All data collected
           around items found on the shorelines is tallied and shared with
           the International community.
