Water Quality

The family friendly Marché des Brasseurs (Brewery Market in Québec) is supporting efforts to preserve the Ottawa River by donating all their proceeds to Ottawa Riverkeeper. Reminding everyone that it takes clean water to make quality, craft beer!

Ottawa and Gatineau beaches are officially open! Download the Swim Guide app and experience the freedom of beach-hunting from your Apple or Android smartphone.

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?
