Don’t miss this opinion piece by The Globe and Mail’s Arno Kopecky on the lasting impact of Trump-era regulatory rollbacks on North America’s waters. @mkeriverkeeper Cheryl Nenn is quoted, and @ottriverkeeper is also highlighted.

We had a great time during the Ottawa Riverkeeper's visit! They brought along a pretend fish pond and magnetic fishing rods so we could learn about local wildlife and rivers. 🎣 Thank you to @ottriverkeeper for such a fun and educational experience. 💙
