This season, we're taking things up a notch by aligning our cleanups with some of Vancouver's biggest events! The Khatsahlano Street Party is back in 2025, and we’re excited to gather again to ensure that any waste left behind is handled responsibly while bringing together locals and tourists in a shared commitment to protect and enjoy our environment.

On Sunday, July 6th, Surfrider Foundation Vancouver will be cleaning up and sorting the waste collected at Kitsilano Beach, and we need your help! Our cleanups are a fun and easy way to get involved and give back. 

You just have to sign our waiver here and show up!

You can help as a BEACH CLEANUP VOLUNTEER, we supply buckets and hand pickers, or you can bring your own (tongs work great too!). Alternatively, you can join us as a LITTER SORTER VOLUNTEER and help sort through what people bring back to us during this cleanup. As a litter sorter, this is a great way to learn not just about picking up litter, but also about sorting it into various categories for recycling and proper disposal education.

Safety First: We have a supply of buckets, work gloves, and pickers. But please bring your own gloves and equipment if you have it available! For safety reasons please wear closed toed shoes and always use a picker to sift through the sand to avoid sharp objects. If you come across any sharp or hazardous object, mark it and tell us, our team can handle the safe removal.
