Thank you for helping clean up QTN

On behalf of your neighbours and the QTNca board, we want to thank all those that helped clean up our neighbourhood earlier this month. Approximately 32 individuals came out and together we filled 21 bags of litter (18 trash, 3 recycling). We recognize that litter doesn’t fall all on one day and thank all of you who keep QTN clean throughout the year.

We also wanted to send a big thank you to the Ottawa Riverkeeper, this charitable organization came out the week before our cleanup and waded through the Pinecrest creek picking up all the trash they could!

Stormwater is an issue, what’s happening in QTN and what can you do?

With the water levels receding, it’s a good time to learn what you can do around your residence to manage rainwater. QTN is bordered by the Pinecrest creek and there are many activities you can do to help manage stormwater for not just our area but for those downstream as well. Read the links below for more information:

Spring Cleanup Postponed

The forecast is not in our favour and many of our neighbours are dealing with unfavourable conditions. QTN’s Spring Cleanup will be postponed until next Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. We hope to see you then and if you are looking to volunteer tomorrow consider heading down the hill to our bay ward neighbours to help fill sandbags for flood prevention (click for more information).

Original Post: We’re nearing the end of winter and as much as we love the snow, it tends to hide a fair bit of trash.

Come help clean up our neighbourhood. We will be cleaning our greenspaces (Frank Ryan Park, Elmhurst Park, Connaught Park, Pinecrest Creek Trail) and the surrounding areas.

If you are willing to help coordinate alternate pickup sites for supplies, such as the frequently recommended Connaught Park entrance, please send us an email as we would appreciate your help.
