Urban Rideau Conservationists is a non-profit, action group that organizes
Mother’s Day weekend Rideau River clean-ups with partner community groups
across Ottawa. The Rideau River is an essential and much appreciated part of
the Ottawa landscape and community.
Dress for mucky conditions, but don't worry, we'll have everything you need
for the clean-up - all supplies will be provided. The City of Ottawa has an
awesome program that supports initiatives like this so we are hooked up!
Remember, be extra careful when on the riverbank. Watch your footing and
what you pick up off the ground. See you on May 12th!!!
If you have any questions contact Martin by e-mail at

Look for me in my aqua coloured sombrero.
