It\u2019s that time again in the year to stop and recognize the ongoing activities associated with improvements to the Ottawa River and understand the importance of this ecosystem on UT\u2019s Main Campus.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s Commission on the River has organized four events for this year\u2019s Celebrate Our River Week. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe work of the President\u2019s Commission on the River and our partners to improve the beauty, environment, access, enjoyment and educational opportunities of the Ottawa River on Main Campus remains an important effort at the University,\u201d said Dr. Patrick Lawrence, UT professor and chair of the Department of Geography and Planning, and chair of the commission.<\/p>\n

Events scheduled are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wednesday, Sept. 14 \u2014 Improvements will be made to the Mary Sue Cave Rain Garden next to the International House from 1 to 3 p.m. and to the Carolyn Edwards Memorial Rain Garden north of parking area 10 from 3 to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe University is a partner for the 15th annual Clean Your Streams,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cThis is a great event for all members of the UT community, especially students, to be engaged and involved with our environmental efforts, including for the Ottawa River, and participate in this regional event.\u201d<\/p>\n
