Company Denied Nuclear Processing Licence
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has made their decision on SRBT’s operating licence. Ottawa Riverkeeper applauds the decision and is relieved that SRBT will not be allowed to release water contaminated with tritium into the Ottawa River.
Ottawa Riverkeeper is perplexed by how the CNSC allowed the situation at SRBT to get so bad and we will be keeping a watchful eye on the regulators and the company to ensure the site is properly cleaned up.

Organized by our friends at Somersault Promotions who have graciously named Ottawa Riverkeeper the official charity for this event.

It takes a community to
keep a river clean…
Thanks to the Ottawa Triathlon Club who raised $2,500 during their annual Triathlon Clinic in Ottawa. The Club supports Ottawa Riverkeeper because local triathletes want a clean Ottawa River to train in.
Last month, the Coalition of Residents’ Associations organized a successful evening in Aylmer. Over 50 people from the community met with our staff and shared their local concerns regarding our mighty river.
In June, travel from Ottawa to Montreal in a Voyageur Canoe guided by experienced outfitters! Join Ceo Gaudet & the team of the River Healing Project and support a healthy Ottawa River.
If you would like to organize a similar event in your community, please contact Delphine Hasle
Your Vision for Ottawa Riverkeeper
Ottawa Riverkeeper is busy! All around the watershed we are being asked to give presentations, sit on committees, attend public hearings, provide comment on projects and policies and investigate issues. To be effective and achieve our vision for the future we must set clear strategic directions and prioritize our work.
Mountain Equipment Co-Op has recently awarded Ottawa Riverkeeper a capacity building grant to strengthen the effectiveness of our organization.
We are currently developing a new strategic plan for the next growth phase of our organization. If you are an Ottawa Riverkeeper member and would like to get involved in this process, please contact us before February 21.
