Waves: The ottawa riverkeeper newsletter

As the ice is breaking up, Ottawa Riverkeeper is getting ready for a new exciting season! Please consider to join us at the following events.

Our thanks to all of the volunteers, members, and supporters who make the Ottawa Riverkeeper’s events possible.

WATERWALKER Film Festival

The Festival is a tribute to the late Bill Mason the great conservationist, canoeist, painter, author and filmmaker who inspired so many of us to enjoy Canada’s waterways and wilderness. His passionate and dedicated care to his work resulted in a need to share its beauty with us and to encourage us to promote its protection. The WATERWALKER Film Festival has now become known throughout North America and internationally.

On Wednesday, April 12th, please join the MEC team and meet the Riverkeeper at the National Library and Archives to view some of the best of the WATERWALKER Film Festival. All proceeds raised will be donated to Ottawa Riverkeeper. For more info, please check our website
