“Temagami Shoreline Clean-Up Challenge” 2026
The Temagami Lakes Association (TLA) is once again inviting 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, 2026, 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) “Children’s Entries”
Please dispose of all items appropriately, and e-mail a photo(s) of your trash-collection efforts to the TLA at temagamilakes1931@gmail.com by August 31st. Let’s help to keep Lake Temagami, and area lakes and shorelines, trash free!
While searching for trash, please act as a “Citizen Scientist” by keeping your eyes open for infestations of the invasive aquatic plant, Eurasian Watermilfoil (and other invasive species). More information (e.g., identification and reporting specifics) can be found on the TLA website at: https://tla-temagami.ca/environment/invasive-species/eurasian-watermilfoil and https://tla-temagami.ca/environment/invasive-species
