I wandered by a news stand to buy a paper and noticed this month’s issue of Ottawa Magazine – my feature on Canada’s national team whitewater slalom training site is inside.

The “Pumphouse” is quietly and obliviously passed by thousands of commuters twice a day on the edge of Ottawa’s downtown core. Olympians like Sarah Boudens and James Cartwright train at the site much of the year.

Buy the Ottawa Magazine to see more photos and read about the hard work of Doug Corkery and the Ottawa River Runners to build the site over the last 30 years… despite the bureaucratic headaches.
