On Thursday I had an assignment to shoot the official opening of the Canadian National Team Whitewater Paddling Training Site – The Pumphouse – in downtown Ottawa.

National Team Trials are this weekend at the Pumphouse hosted by the Ottawa River Runners. See past Pumphouse photos.
It was a good media event!
