Press release - Fondation Rivières and the Société de conservation et d'aménagement des bassins versants de la zone Châteauguay (SCABRIC) have released the results of a groundbreaking study into the bathing potential of the Châteauguay River. The study reveals that, contrary to popular belief, the water of the Châteauguay River is perfectly suitable for swimming.

In Verdun, the municipality has already worked hard to offer a beautiful beach to the population. And every day, the City of Montreal sends water samples to be analyzed to ensure your safety.

Press release - Fondation Rivières and the Ville de L'Assomption are currently carrying out a ground-breaking study to measure the impact of wastewater overflows and other sources of pollution on the bacteriological quality of water at the municipal drinking water intake and the Léo-Jacques Park recreation area, both located on the banks of the Rivière L'Assomption in L'Assomption.

Press release – The Earth Day team, involved in the Montréal Bathing Committee, is happy to hand over the organization of the Grand Splash to Fondation Rivières. We are currently co-organizing the 2018 edition and we are leaving them in charge for 2019.
