Who Is Watching out for the Ottawa River?
Who Is Watching Out for the Ottawa River? Professor Benidickson CML 3351 369567 April 28 2000 George Brown AContradictions in human behavior are evident throughout the region. There are beautiful farms and ravaged riverbanks; decimated forests and landscaped community parks; chemical and nuclear waste oozing toward the river and conscientious children cleaning highways. In Canada, extremes in river levels that prevent the existence of both natural ecologies and human enterprises are caused by dams built primarily to meet US energy needs. Diverse and contradictory possibilities appear for the river region of the future: economic stability, ecological integrity and sustainability if people take seriously their responsibilities for God=s earth; ecological disaster and economic depression if current practices remain unchangedY@1 The above quotation, is taken from a statement by the US and Canadian Catholic Bishops concerning the Columbia River. Entitled The Columbia River Watershed: Realities and Possibilities, it was meant to remind citizens on both sides of the border, that Awe humans do not live alone in the Columbia watershed. We share our habitat with other lives, members of the community of life B what scientists call the biotic community B who relate to us as fellow inhabitants of the watershed, as fellow members of the web of life.@2 This paper is not about the Columbia River, it is about the Ottawa River. (Ottawa) What I found interesting about the first quotation is that you could very easily have applied it to the Ottawa River, as well as many other rivers throughout North America. I intend to examine the Ottawa from the perspective mentioned above, that it is a river that can have a future characterized by economic stability, ecological integrity, and sustainability, if we take seriously our responsibilities as citizens.

Communiquevol. 9 No. 2 Vol. 9 No. 2 Association of Canada Lands
CAssocoiationm of Canmada Landus Sunrveyoirs quVol. e9 No. 2 M.J. O’Sullivan retired on May 19, 2005 “Making a Difference” It is perhaps all that we should hope for, at the end of a career, to be able to look back and say: “I think that I have made a difference”. Michael Jefferies O’Sullivan was born in Toronto and after graduating from St. Michael’s college, found his way to Ottawa not only to work but also to raise a family. During his time in both the private and public sectors he has faced many of the ups and down faced by most land surveyors associated with land development or the bureaucracy of government. Mike’s professional career has been extraordinary. His career began in the late fifties and has spanned some 46 years. During that period he has seen some of the greatest technological advancements experienced by a profession. At the start of his career 300’ chains were used to measure distances, through the Sixties and Seventies came the first of the electronic measuring devices, followed in the eighties by the development of geographic information and global positioning systems. Later, Mike guided Legal Surveys Division of Natural Resources Canada through a review of all federal government programs and more recently this included a reorganization of the Earth Sciences Sector of NRCan from a capacity-driven organization to one that is more in line with the today’s government agenda. Mike talks fondly of those days of his 25 years in the private sector. He moved to Ottawa with Paul Winarski in the late Fifties, and by the mid sixties; he, along with George Annis, had their own firm and by the Seventy and Eighties Annis, O’Sullivan and Goltz and later Annis O’Sullivan Vollebekk was one of the largest survey firms in Ottawa.
