You're invited!

Hello Ottawa Riverkeeper friends,

It is my pleasure to invite you to our 2020 Ottawa Riverkeeper Gala, presented by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

Over the last seven years the Gala has brought together members of our community who share the common vision of protecting our river and its surrounding watershed.

Since the first Riverkeeper Gala in 2013, we have raised over $1.5 million to promote a swimmable, drinkable, fishable river and a healthy watershed. Your support makes our many initiatives possible, such as our Youth Water Leaders Program.

This year’s Gala will overlook our incredible Ottawa River in the heart of the city, allowing for guests to truly experience the beauty of the river.

I hope to see you on Wednesday, September 30th, for another inspiring evening in support of Ottawa Riverkeeper.

In the river spirit,

Geoff Green, C.M.

Chair of the Board

Ottawa Riverkeeper

COVID-19 Update

The health and the safety of our supporters and ticket-holders is our top priority during this difficult time in which we find ourselves together. This is why we have made the decision to postpone the Riverkeeper Gala until September 30th, 2020. This decision was not made lightly and is informed by guidelines set by Ottawa Public Health.

We will automatically move your ticket(s) over to the September 30th date. If you would like to transfer your tickets, request a refund, or donate all or a portion of your tickets, please click here.

We look forward to celebrating with you riverside once all of this is over.
