In December, Laura Reinsborough provided an educational and passionate
presentation on our own local Ottawa River. She covered the gamut, from
swimming and nature to American Eels and road salt. Laura mentioned
that with a length of over 1200 km, intersecting two provinces and
numerous local jurisdictions, there are many challenges, such as
pollution and protecting wildlife. The Ottawa Riverkeeper is an
independent, charitable organization that champions the Ottawa River
watershed. More information is available here.
