Clean up of the debris along the Burntwood River is currently being tackled by a group of 10 workers from Men are Part of the Solution, or MAPS.

This is the third week of the clean up project that has seen roughly 100 piles of driftwood removed from the shoreline.

President of MAPS, Oswald Sawh, says they hope to have around two kilometres of the shoreline cleared up before the crew wraps up work for this year, likely around the end of October.   The clean up project is in partnership with Manitoba Hydro and the City of Thompson and is in its first year of a three-year commitment.
