2008 Public Information Sessions

Canada honours and respects its leading rivers by distinguishing them as Canadian Heritage Rivers. The Ottawa RIver is poised to take its place with this network of rivers. The ORHDC presents a series of public information/consultation sessions from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm as follows:

August 30 & 31 - Pinhey's Point Historic Site
270 Pinhey's Point Road, Dunrobin/Ottawa ON

September 6 - Jubilee Lodge
245 Givensche Road, CFB Petawawa ON

September 13 - Harbour Place
451 Farr Drive, Haileybury ON

Input from these sessions will be used to develop a heritage strategy to conserve the outstanding natural, cultural and recreational values of the Ottawa River. Canadian Heritage Rivers depend on existing laws and regulations, and respect the rights of Aboriginal peoples, communities, private landowners, and the public.
