Programming at Petrie Island is concluding for the season. Most summer staff have finished, as have all City of Ottawa lifeguards.

The last day for picnic reservations and Naturalist sessions is Sept. 5. The beach pavilion will also close Sept. 5.
Wednesday morning work days will continue into October.
Stay tuned on Facebook and here for future Turtle Release events which are dependent on the eggs.
A few turtles have been released Aug. 29.

Petrie Island remains open for the public to enjoy! Fall is a spectacular time to visit.
