About the “Clean Camps, Clean Coast” Program: A collaborative initiative between WWF-Canada and regional Hunters and Trappers Committees (HTCs) within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), the “Clean Camps, Clean Coast” project attempts to build on the success of WWF’s “Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-up” and local interests in having clean camps, clean coasts, and a healthy ecosystem for humans and wildlife. “Clean Camps, Clean Coasts” aims to promote and sustain appropriate waste management strategies in remote areas of traditional activities and areas that are significant to local wildlife and the subsistence use of these species by the local community. A clean-up of 4 sites (2 camps and 2 shoreline habitats) in two communities will be conducted in 2013. The clean-up will employ local residents and will engage youth and camp users in the clean up activity. Following the clean-up, an inventory of waste will be recorded and a community-based waste management strategy drafted. An educational campaign will follow, involving the delivery of community-developed and culturally-appropriate educational materials (posters, signs, radio advertisement, etc) and durable waste collection bags, to ensure community members are engaged and enabled to keep their camps and shoreline clean into the future.
