Swim Guide

As the summer comes into full swing, so does Ottawa Riverkeeper’s recreational water quality monitoring program. This program involves monitoring E. Coli levels in water at local beaches, in order to promote public safety and warn of swimming advisories when applicable.

On Saturday, August 28, Ottawa Riverkeeper’s Youth Water Leaders could be found at Lac Leamy Beach and Park sharing watershed facts with the public.

Audrey Bureau, Municipal Councillor for Aylmer, and Ottawa Riverkeeper’s Community Outreach Coordinator, Alejandro Prescott-Cornejo, met at parc des Cèdres to film a video to share the excellent news.

Today we celebrate World Water Monitoring Day! Did you know that Ottawa Riverkeeper does its own in house water quality testing?

This summer, Ottawa Riverkeeper is proud to present your Watershed Beach Pass, your passport to outdoor summer entertainment.
