Congratulations to our Spring 2025 Data Card Contest winners, Fred and Joan Borden! We organize two of these contests each year (one in the Spring and one in the Fall) where we randomly select a winner among the groups that have submitted their data card following their clean-up.

Submitting your data is incredibly important as it allows us to analyze Nova Scotia's litter problem and influence government policy decisions (and hopefully, reduce the amount of litter that shows up in our communities).
