Attached are some documents that were used as the basis for discussions on safety aspects on the Rideau in a meeting hosted by Parks Canada on March 30. The meeting was comprised of people from Parks Canada, Transport Canada, City of Ottawa, Ottawa police Services, Marinas, community associations and ski/wakeboard schools. The most interesting of the documents is the Risk Assessment of the Rideau Canal System. Please review these documents and give me a call at (613)563-0260 or send me an email at msywyk@rogers.com to let me know if you are interested in attending a community meeting to discuss our section of the river and if you would like to attend a session by the Ottawa Police Marine Division on how to “Observe, record and report” situations on the river.
