It’s nearly time for some fall cleaning in Courtenay.

Ace Brewing and BC Marine Trails Network Association are teaming up for an event in early November to spruce up the Riverway Heritage Walk in Courtenay.

The goal of the Courtenay River Cleanup is to protect local waterways and stop debris from reaching the ocean.

It takes place Sunday, Nov. 9. Volunteers will meet at 10 a.m. outside Ace Brewing (150 Mansfield Dr., Courtenay).

A statement from Ace Brewing said garbage bags will be provided, though participants must bring their own gloves and dress for the weather as the event will go on rain or shine.
