CPAWS Ottawa Valley

About us

CPAWS Ottawa Valley (CPAWS-OV) is your voice for wilderness in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec! As a local chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, we seek consensus and work collaboratively with Indigenous communities, Crown corporations, the tourism sector and communities across the region to promote the conservation and sound management of our rich natural resources and public lands. Rooted in science with a keen sense of place and the importance of culture, we are your approachable and caring source of information fighting to protect the places you love.
