With two-thirds of the planet covered in water, CUBE gallery owner Don Monet figured that a celebration of H20 was a good way to mark Earth Day 2009.
About 90 people ventured into the gallery on April 22 to view CUBE’s current water-themed exhibition, taste some wine supplied by Hemispheres Wine Guild, and learn about the work of Ottawa’s Riverkeeper.
The Ottawa Riverkeeper is both a citizen-Meredith Brown-and a citizen-based group with three staff and offices on Danforth Ave. just south of Richmond Road in Westboro. As Executive Director and Riverkeeper since 2004, Meredith explained that her group is part of a global alliance of 185 waterkeepers. Check the video link above for a short interview with Meredith.
More than 200 municipalities line the 1,200 kilometers of the Ottawa River. Community groups in Ottawa are set to clean up sections of the river in the Champlain Park neighbourhood and near Westboro Beach the weekend of April 25-26.
