Video Launch: Belle Park from the Air
Come to the Broom Factory (305 Rideau St.) as we launch our short video, Belle Park from the Air, based on 100 years of aerial photographs of Belle Park and Belle Island. What do these images tell us about this place or invite us to ask about it? We want to hear your thoughts! Refreshments will be served.

Meet the River II
Join us for a family event at the sign of the fish at the south end of Douglas Fluhrer Park to spend time together, to learn about these waters and all that they are sustaining and the challenges they face, and to do some fishy art!
