Ottawa River Cleanup Day is Sunday, June 10th, Canada River Day.  I'm thinking about signing OVAS up for a section of the river.  Would anyone be interested in joining up?

This would be a great chance for OVAS to do a small part toward cleaning up our local environment.  Please post your level of interest here and I'll be in touch with the organizer if there is enough.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

I think it's a great idea!  Funny, because I was posting in the shoutbox about the September waterway cleanup the same time you posted this thread...ahh...great minds..
I am in.

I have to check with the boss to see if we are doing anything that day but I would be interested.  Any idea of furry friends are able to tag along to give them a day in the sun?

I know the wife has something planned for June 10th, I just can't remember if, never mind, I remember now, put me down for September if you have one then.

OK the garbage bags are easy enough but where do I find strong wading boots?
