Riparia Alumni & Community

About

Riparia is a Canadian registered charity that works to connect young women and science on the water. With our team of guides, scientists, and Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, participants learn and experience different ways of doing science, thinking about water, and learning from our environment.

We run two inspiring free programs for diverse young women: (1) a signature week-long canoeing and camping expedition in the Poisson Blanc Regional Park of Québec; and (2) a water-focused outdoor day camp exploring rivers, lakes, and streams near Montréal, Québec. Our participants receive access to exciting tools, like underwater drones and portable microscopes and leave our program with robust outdoor skills, lasting friendships, and the know-how to protect fresh waters for life.

Our programs take place on the traditional, ancestral & unceded territories of the Anishinaabeg (Parc Poisson Blanc, QC) and Kanien’kehá:ka (Montréal, QC).
