Participated in the Lock & Paddle 2025 event in Ottawa.

Sarah and I were joined by a Varvara and Rob for the event. Well them and all the other people that came on their own! ;)

There was triple the attendance from last year! 231 canoes/kayaks (if I remember correctly) The Parks Canada staff ended up loading both locks at Hartwells Locks so they could fit all the paddlers in one photo!

We made a couple scenic detours afterwards. It was nice to escape the crowds and enjoy some peaceful moments..

The joy on Varvara's face when she got to see a turtle in the wild for the first time was priceless.
