Barbara Hobot: Grand River Clean-Up

Meet in the Queen's Square Gallery.

Inspired by the river clean-up efforts of the Thames River Rally in London, Ontario, this gathering along the banks of the Grand River is an opportunity to prevent garbage from entering the waterways. You’ll be provided with the tools necessary to safely collect trash as you walk along the Grand with fellow river stewards. Note: you may encounter uneven terrain. Close-toed shoes are recommended. 

This public activation is part of the Of Containers and Firestarts exhibition.
