Cleanup volunteers say popular Saanich lake is littered with garbage

  SAANICH, B.C. Durrance Lake in Saanich is a popular spot for cooling off in the summer. As it turns out, it’s also a popular place to dispose of one’s garbage. Last weekend, three divers, two kayakers and a tin boat captain began cleaning up the lake bottom and were dismayed at how much trash they found. In less than an hour, they filled three trash bags with bottles, cans and other man-made debris, including a sunhat, a cowboy hat, some jewelry and a full bottle of vodka (which they didn’t drink). Wade Martinson, one of those volunteering his time to help clean up the lake, has a message for those using Durrance Lake this summer.
