A swimmable, drinkable, fishable Ottawa River Watershed. For everyone.

Ottawa Riverkeeper is a citizen-based action group that brings people together to protect and promote the ecological health and diversity of the Ottawa River and its tributaries. Expert and independent, the organization advocates for responsible decision-making, public education, participation, access to information, and compliance with protective regulations, for the benefit of our river and our communities.

You can take action to defend the Ottawa River, and to influence decisions that affect its health and future. Your support allows us to work collaboratively, to enforce protective regulations and seek effective solutions to watershed wide issues. By providing clear science-based information, we aim to engage and empower people like you to become advocates for the protection of your river and your community.
