SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY!

This year, 2010, in response to popular request, the River Cleanup day has been changed to the SATURDAY of the Mother's Day weekend.

So our Cleanup date is Saturday May 8th. The Cleanup will run from 10 am until 1 pm, RAIN OR SHINE.

Locations to meet and pick up supplies include

• New Edinburgh Field House at 193 Stanley Avenue. Look for us down the right side of the building, as we are sharing space with the community's spring plant sale. Our Cleanup Co-ordinator will be Clare Robertson
  
• Riverside Memorial Park in Overbrook Community at the corner of North River Road and Queen Mary. ***Note that this is a different location from last year***. Sheila Perry will be organizing things there
  
• Brantwood Park Field House in Ottawa East. Our Co-ordinator will be Carol Alette
• Lady Evelyn School in Ottawa East. The Cleanup will take place in nearby Springhurst Park
  
• Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club at corner of Cameron Avenue and Seneca, by Brewer Park. Our co-ordinator here will be Angela Firmin
  

Sandyhill will be joining us for the first time this year. BUT please note that their cleanup will take place in the afternoon from 1-3pm. Meet in the parking lot at the foot of Somerset Street in Strathcona Park.

We are pleased that the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority are coming out to help us again this year. Their canoe team will be working the river in the Brewer Park area.

Many thanks to the following for their support:

• The City of Ottawa who are providing cleanup supplies
• Bridgehead Coffee Houses who are supplying hot coffee
• The Monterey Inn who are giving us lunches for participants
