Today (22 April) a crew of almost 30 volunteers came to the club to fill sandbags, dig a trench and build a flood wall to protect the Clubhouse and Annex from the potential of flooding as the Ottawa river continues to rise. A big “Thank You” to all the volunteers for your hard work and support to our club.
