Part of Ottawa Riverkeeper's Current Conversations summer speaker series, The Swimmable City brings together local experts for a panel on urban waterways. They'll share examples from around the world, and from our own backyard, of how swimming in urban rivers and lakes can foster healthier, more climate-resilient, and more equitable communities.
The series doubles as an educational evening and a fundraiser supporting Ottawa Riverkeeper's work to protect the Ottawa River watershed.
