CPAWS Ottawa Valley
Your voice for wilderness in eastern Ontario and western Quebec
ABOUT US
The Ottawa Valley Chapter of CPAWS (CPAWS-OV) works to protect public lands in the Ottawa River Watershed of Quebec and Ontario – an area twice the size of the province of New Brunswick. Established in 1969 when a group of concerned citizens learned about major development plans for Gatineau Park, the Chapter has since become involved in many issues of wilderness protection in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.
