It’s May 4, and we have got everything pretty much ready to go for the Mother’s Day River Cleanup. We did get some help, though, and we owe a big thank you to the following organizations:
- Monterey Inn Resort, who are providing us with more of the lunch packs that were so popular last year;
- the City of Ottawa, who are providing cleaning supplies, and whose 2006 environmental grant has paid for some really sharp T-shirts and tote bags to give away to Cleanup volunteers;
- Bridgehead Coffeehouse, who are donating coffee to keep the volunteers going;
- Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, who are sending canoes to join the cleanup effort; and
- the New Edinburgh Community Alliance, who are contributing to running costs
