Everyday is Lake Superior Day for John Walkley
John is a retired Superintendent of Public Schools from Houghton, Mich. who has a summer place at Batchawana Bay along the Lake Superior shoreline about 60 km north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Weather permitting, John comes to Batchawana in the early summer and stays until Oct. John likes to walk every morning along the sand beach at the Batchawana Day Park and on his daily walks he carries a stick with a nail in the end which he uses to spear debris and litter that others have thoughtlessly left laying around the grounds of the park. Besides paper products, John also makes a point of collecting cans, plastic and glass for the trash can.
John is to be complimented on the fine job that he is doing in keeping the Park area a clean and inviting place to visit. He is a model of environmental citizenry.
