    The Riverwatch Handbook A field guide for Ottawa Riverkeeper’s Riverwatchers Ottawa Riverkeeper - Published 2015 613.321.1120 • 1-888-9KEEPER www.ottawariverkeeper.ca • @ottriverkeeper www.facebook.com/ottawa.riverkeeper This field guide is designed to help riverwatchers 1) identify aquatic phenomena and environmental concerns, 2) collect the information needed to report their observations, and 3) connect with the proper agencies and organizations with these questions and concerns. Riverwatchers should consider potential sources and causes of observed phenomena. In a river system, causes can come from activities on land (e.g. deforestation, development/construction), areas upstream, and be the result of events that have happened recently (e.g. water releases from dams, heavy rains and wind). 1. Aquatic Phenomena 1.1 Water Colour Brown Tea Colour: dissolved organic matter (i.e. decaying plant matter), algae growth, and minerals such as iron.

  • WAKEFIELD COVERED BRIDGE a Brief History Quick Facts
    WAKEFIELD COVERED BRIDGE A Brief History Quick Facts - The Gatineau River has always been an important transportation route. It was very well known to the Indigenous peoples of the area as long as 4000 years ago. - Philemon Wright's settlement of Hull in 1800 began to extend to the north and by the 1830s the settlement of Wakefield was growing on the banks of the Gatineau River close to its junction with the La Peche river. - As more people settled on the land and commerce began to increase, local people began to operate ferry-scows at different points up and down the river. In the winter, people and communities were linked by ice bridges and ice roads marked out on the ice. - Between 1910-20, the province wanted to encourage more settlement and development, so they were financing the construction of roads and simple wooden bridges. - The first bridge over the Gatineau River was built in 1907 at Grand-Remous and by 1915 Wakefield had its very own covered bridge. The bridge was named after the Member of the Legislative Assembly at the time, Ferdinand-Ambroise Gendron. - Road traffic increased very quickly around the end of the Second World War (1939-1945) and heavier vehicles began to take their toll on the bridge and height restriction bars were installed. 17 WAKEFIELD COVERED BRIDGE A Brief History Quick Facts - Transport Quebec decided that the weight limit for the bridge should be set at 7 tons, which meant that an empty bus could cross the bridge but its passengers would have to walk.

  • 3.3 River Morphology
    NATURAL HERITAGE 159 3.3 River Morphology The Ottawa River environment changes constantly. Rivers can be divided into three zones: the headwater stream zone, middle‐order zone and lowland zone. The Ottawa River displays characteristics of each of these zones. Along its path, the river alternates between rapids, lakes, shallow bays, and quiet stretches. More than 80 tributaries contribute their water to the river’s force. As a tributary itself, the Ottawa River meets the St. Lawrence River at its southern end. The numerous dams along the Ottawa River affect the duration, frequency, timing and rate of the natural water flow. 3.3.1 Channel Pattern Because water will always travel in the path of least resistance, a river’s channel pattern, or map view, is a response to the physiographic features of the area. The channel pattern of a river can take many forms. Kellerhals et al (1976) suggest classifying channel patterns into six categories: straight, sinuous, irregular (wandering), irregular meanders, regular meanders, and tortuous meanders. Overall, the Ottawa River is a constrained, straight river that has been highly altered. The river is said to be constrained because it exists within a valley, although a flood plain exists on the Ontario shore of the river and on parts of the Quebec shore. For the most part there is a main river channel lacking the sinuosity generally observed in unconstrained rivers. Figure 3.25 Main River Channel of the Ottawa Source: Christian Voilemont NATURAL HERITAGE 160 Figure 3.26 Ottawa River Watershed Source : Jan Aylsworth 3.3.2 Landforms and Depositional Forms Material that is transported down a river can be deposited temporarily and then reactivated as the channel shifts, creating transient landforms.

  • INTRODUCTION 1.1 Description of the River 1.2 Project Structure 1.3
    INTRODUCTION 1 Chapter 1 Introduction The Ottawa River cradles the natural and cultural heart of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples established their presence here some 6,000 years ago, followed by Europeans in pursuit of furs, timber, and land. From the area’s first inhabitants to the explorers, guides, traders, loggers, settlers, and entrepreneurs that followed, the Ottawa River was truly the original trans‐Canada highway. The Ottawa River played an integral role in many of the key stories that make up Canada’s history. It was the route for much of the early European exploration of North America, including Samuel de Champlain. Explorers in search of the Northwest Passage began their journeys along the Ottawa River. Other celebrated figures in Canadian history including Nicollet, Radisson, La Vérendrye, Dulhut and De Troyes, traveled west along the Ottawa River to establish trade relationships with First Nations communities, laying the groundwork for the fur trade. The fur trade relied on the famous waterway routes that began and ended with the Ottawa River. France’s North American colonial economy depended on the fur trade, which led to the development of the coureurs de bois and voyageurs era, and later to the creation of the North West and Hudson’s Bay Companies. Amid the profound social, political, and economic changes of the 17th century, the Ottawa River remained one of North America’s most important trading routes. It played a central role in the story of the fur trade in North America, and thus in the development of Canada. The rich forests along the Ottawa Waterway attracted thousands of European immigrants in search of work.

  • Difficulties Encountered in Researching Non-Status Algonquin in the Ottawa Valley
    Hidden Communities: Difficulties Encountered in Researching Non-Status Algonquin in the Ottawa Valley JOAN M. HOLMES Ottawa This paper explores some of the difficulties encountered while researching communities of non-status Algonquin/Nipissing people living on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River. Three non-status communities are currently involved in documenting their history in order to obtain recognition as aboriginal communities from provincial and federal governments. This paper outlines some of the obstacles being faced in the preliminary stages of the research which depends upon archival documents, church and census records, and oral history interviews. BACKGROUND The traditional lands of the Algonquian-speaking Algonquin and Nipissing nations included the watershed of the Ottawa River, which drains a wide swath of land from Lake Temiskaming in the north along both sides of the Quebec-Ontario boundary south to Long Sault or Carillon, a point in the Ottawa River just above Lake of Two Mountains. The Ottawa River's tributaries on the Ontario side include the Rideau, Mississippi, Madawaska, Bonnechere, Petawawa, and Mattawa rivers. The earliest recorded claims of Algonquin and Nipissing chiefs and leading men clearly and consistently described the Algonquin and Nipissing territory as stretching along the Ottawa for a distance of 117 leagues, over 300 miles of canoe navigation from the Long Sault to Lake Nipissing.1 From the early 18th century onwards the Algonquin and Nipissing traveled down the Ottawa River annually to a Sulpician mission, initially located at He aux Tourtes and then at Lake of Two Mountains, where the Ottawa River empties into the St.
