Fall Cleanup (Sept 26)

Come help clean up our neighbourhood. We will be cleaning our parks, greenspaces, and surrounding areas.

Meet us at Frank Ryan Field House on Saturday, September 26, 2020 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to get supplies and choose an area to clean. Latex gloves and garbage bags will be provided. In the event of rain, we will reschedule to Sunday, September 27, 2020.

You can add this event to your calendar by subscribing to our Google Calendar or to our Facebook Page. Regular updates are also shared with the local community Facebook Group – a good place to chat and meet your neighbours.

City of Ottawa Update: Key Messages

As the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to develop, we would like to thank everyone for continuing to practice physical distancing as well as for supporting your friends, family, and neighbours during this unprecedented period. Walking through the neighbourhood to smiles, waves, signs, and much more is exactly how we remain connected, display our resilience, and stay positive.

To help keep you informed and updated, the City of Ottawa and Councillor Kavanaugh have shared the City of Ottawa’s Key Messages document (PDF, March 26) which contains information on many city services such as closures to parks, promoting local businesses, volunteering, your taxes, etc.

To stay informed, we recommend referencing content from trusted sources such as Ottawa Public Health, the Ontario Ministry of Health and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Stage 2 West Pre-construction Update: Vegetation & Tree Removals

The city has provided us with an update on the pre-construction work as part of the Stage 2 LRT Project (O-Train West Extension):

The project contractor (Kiewit-Eurovia-Vinci) is progressing with vegetation and tree removal work across both east and west alignments. In the coming weeks they will move towards Connaught Park and the greenspace to the north, for removals within the area circled in yellow in the attached satellite image. I’ve also attached public notices that were distributed directly to homes in September and contain additional information regarding tree compensation that will occur towards the end of the project.

Here are the related documents that we encourage you to review:
