Today we joined Catherine McKenna, indigenous elders and representatives from the governments of Quebec and Ontario to announce that the Ottawa River will receive an official Heritage Designation. This river is the lifeblood of so many communities, including Ottawa West-Nepean. I was proud on such a beautiful day to appreciate the rich historical, ecological and cultural significance of the Ottawa River alongside colleagues Mona Fortier, Steven MacKinnon, and Stephane Lauzon.
