We have been busy on your behalf since we founded the Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance last spring, and we've achieved some significant things. As a result of our work, hardened shoulders are being installed on newly paved sections of roads such as Highway 17 and Grants Settlement Road in Whitewater Region. Whether you're a cyclist, hiker, paddler or other non-motorized traveller, we are speaking and planning for you and your family.

Although we are an all-volunteer group, it costs money to do this work - incorporation expenses, office expenses, online fees, and so on. So far, these expenses have all come from the pockets of a few activists. Next year, we hope to organize events and projects like route marking. All these things cost money. So please make a contribution via PayPal. Any amount helps. It's all about building critical mass. Click here to make your contribution.
