Do you want a healthy and environmentally responsible Ottawa?

Ecology Ottawa is a not-for-profit, grassroots, volunteer-driven organization working to make Ottawa the green capital of Canada. We provide residents with the information and tools they need to understand local environmental issues and promote environmental leadership at city hall.

 We’re in your neighbourhood!

Ecology Ottawa, in partnership with Friends of Petrie Island, is hosting a spring cleanup of Petrie Island. Please help us come together as a community to protect and restore this local treasure.

The cleanup will be held on Saturday May 30 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We will be meeting near the nature interpretation centre on the island (at the north end of Trim Road), light rain or shine. We will supply garbage bags, and we recommend bringing work gloves and rubber boots if it’s wet. Please bring a rake if you have one.

Volunteers are invited to enjoy a vegetarian BBQ during the cleanup, sponsored by Ecology Ottawa.
