The Alberta Underwater Council and dive stores in the province have been doing lake cleanups at various spots around the province for years. The ones that I'm aware of happen in the spring and the fall. Contact the AUC for more information and see if your schedule fits into any of the existing clean up activities.

Oh, and say hi to Jill and Robert on your way. They are going west to east (which takes better advantage of the prevailing winds).
