Remember a contaminated piece of equipment never leaves the property. Just like the waste being trucked in.

Environmental responsibility isn’t just about one day, it’s about how we think, plan, and act every day.

As Earth Day approaches, we’re taking time to reflect on our ongoing efforts and shared responsibility for stewardship. 🌍🍃🐢

KEEP OUR OTTAWA RIVER SAFE students

With winter’s last blast it’s hard to believe we’re a month away from our seasonal feathered visitors at NPD! Each spring and summer NPD’s ventilation stack becomes a Chimney Swift super roost, and an opportunity for CNL’s Environmental Protection team to conduct evening roost counts as a part of Canada-wide conservation efforts for this Species at Risk.
