The Temagami Lakes Association (TLA) invites anyone who resides on, or enjoys, Lake Temagami and other area lakes to participate in the “Temagami Shoreline Clean-Up Challenge”. From July 1 to August 31, 2025, we encourage year-round and seasonal residents, as well as visitors, to seek out and collect trash that is in the water or lying on mainland or island shorelines.
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the summer season in these categories:
(a) Most Trash Collected
(b) Most-Unique Piece of Trash
(c) Oldest Piece of Trash
(d) Most-Useful Piece of Trash
(e) Largest Piece of Trash
(f) Each Child Participant Receives a Prize
… and there is also a Bonus Prize for the “Most Entries Submitted”.
Please dispose of all items appropriately, and e-mail a photo(s) of your trash-collection efforts to the TLA at tla@onlink.net by August 31st. Let’s help to keep Lake Temagami, and all area lakes and shorelines, trash free!!
