Ecology Ottawa supports call for Salt Management Review
Ecology Ottawa delegated at City Council's Environment and Climate Change Committee today to support Councillor King's motion calling for a review of the City's Salt Management practices. Our Executive Director William van Geest drew heavily from water sampling conducted by our partners Ottawa Riverkeeper over 5 years to show that such a review is necessary. Read our delegation below.
Ask the City for a salt management review!
Councillor King is bringing a motion to City Council's Environment and Climate Change Committee to call for a long overdue review of the City's salting practices and the environmental effects of these practices. Salt is toxic to aquatic life, soil, and vegetation, and it persists year-round in our waterways. Find out more and take action!
