Get Involved
MVCA's Integrated Watershed Approach aims to manage the way water runs through the Mississippi Valley so we can all enjoy it. Regenerate Your Shoreline or collect samples to monitor the watershed.

Fresh Air & Exercise
Reconnect with Ottawa's Naturally Significant Areas at the Mill of Kintail, Morris Island, and Purdon Conservation Areas. Go birding, see 10,000 orchids or get married along the Indian River with a backdrop of Nepean sandstone.

Want to Build or Renovate?
It's possible to get what you want, without damaging the watershed. MVCA is committed to showing you how.
Do it right the first time apply for your waterfront building permit.

Take Your Students Outdoors: Curriculum-based Hands-on Learning
Have MVCA educators come to your school. There's lots of opportunities for kids to get involved now to protect their environment later.

From Water Level Updates to Flood Warnings: Keeping you informed.
MVCA wants to help keep you and your property safe and healthy. See current water levels, view your lake report or get ideas for living with less water.
