City Stream Watch will be conducting a cleanup in Nepean Creek within the Nepean Creek Park Pathway as part of the 100 in 1 Day initiative in Ottawa. Participants will help to clean up garbage from the stream and shorelines surrounding Nepean Creek. There are several areas in the region that tend to accumulate garbage, we will be concentrating in the areas upstream of the stormwater ponds to prevent the garbage to deposit further downstream. We will not be going into the stormwater ponds as it is prohibited to enter them. We will meet East of the Stormwater Ponds along the creek, near a pedestrian crossing bridge for 9:00AM.
Parking: There is a parking lot along Colonnade Rd. called Nepean Creek Park, East Parking Lot https://goo.gl/maps/FfuYNYPiqvw1x87N8
