Friends of Crescent Beach improve Algoma waterfront

The retention ponds are going in at nearby Basin Beach to divert stormwater runoff thanks to a splashy project being completed by the City of Algoma, but the Friends of Crescent Beach are still finding a way to make their mark. The group was helped out by 40 eighth grade students earlier this month, picking up over 1,000 pieces of litter and pulling out invasive plants. Cathy Pabich says there is more to come next month.

 


The Friends group assisted in securing funding for the retention pond project and is looking forward to seeing how it improves Crescent Beach for next summer. Removing the drain from the northern end of the beach will increase the amount of space for people to gather on the waterfront, something that is in short supply with record-high water levels.
