Well folks we did it! I can't thank the Ottawa Community enough for coming out en masse to clean up the Rideau River on this Mother's Day! We had over 120 volunteers, and in three hours pulled out tons of icky garbage in and around the Rideau. We should all be proud of this achievement! The whole event was tons of fun and was really nice was that everyone really got into the spirit of the day. Not only did we clean out garbage, we made the Rideau River a priority in our lives. As it should be!
I really want to thank The City of Ottawa for giving us a grant to make this event happen. As well, I want to thank the New Edinburgh Community Alliance, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, The Green Party, Monterey Inn, The Rideau Tennis Club, and The Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club for their strong support throughout the months. Just to let you know we will be putting on another Mother's Day Cleanup in 2008! So bookmark this blog site.
Love you guys!
