Friends of the Gatineau River

We continue our water quality monitoring program of the Gatineau River for bacteria levels (fecal coliforms) to determine its safety for swimming and other recreational activities. We conduct surveys from the water to gather information about the state of the Gatineau River's shoreline and to document invasive species. We undertake public education initiatives to educate residents and government decision-makers about our work best practices related to environmental management of the river and ways that people can get involved to achieve the long term protection of the river.
