Recreation

AquaHacking – Ottawa River Summit 2015 was a huge success and a great beginning to new collaborations and innovative ways to work together to protect our shared waters.

Different water-testing schedules in Ottawa and Gatineau can have a major impact on beach closures, even between neighbouring beaches. So how do you know when and where it is safe to swim?

An update from our Swim Guide coordinator, Chloé Montreuil-Spencer.

To better understand how the city monitors these five beaches, Ottawa Riverkeeper reached out to Dominique Bremner, Public Health Inspector for the Environment and Health Protection Branch of Ottawa Public Health.

We want you to explore, enjoy, and fall in love with Ottawa River’s many beaches, so check out the Swim Guide and learn more.
