Ottawa Riverkeeper is sharing information, facts, and tips about road salt during the week of January 30th, as part of an ongoing effort to raise awareness of the negative impacts that overusing road salt has on freshwater ecosystems.

Having its own already established road salt monitoring system, Ottawa Riverkeeper is well-placed to support ABV des 7 in sampling different creeks to determine their chloride concentrations.

Ottawa Riverkeeper has organized shoreline naturalization projects to assist local communities in protecting their waterways. In the Spring of 2018, Ottawa Riverkeeper, Watersheds Canada, and 25 volunteers, including a number of highschool students, revegetated a site vulnerable to erosion at Arnprior, along the Ottawa River.

We had a blast at the 8th annual community paddle down the Bonnechere River!

In May 2018, Larissa (our Riverwatch Coordinator) and MJ (our Watershed Council Director) spent a couple of days driving from Ottawa to Temiskaming Shores, with stops in Cobden, Mattawa, Deep River, Deux Rivières, et Ville-Marie.
