Have Your Say: Local Priorities for Use of QTN Park Spaces

10 Comments

What would you like to see in our local parks?

In QTN, we have three distinct parks (Frank Ryan, Elmhurst, and Connaught) and other possibilities. Residents have various priorities for uses of park spaces and we would like to learn more. Please take a moment to complete our  brief survey (6 questions) by May 21, 2021, your input will help to inform local planning for use of park spaces. QTNca will report back the results and facilitate further discussions with the community and City.

If you have any questions or would like more information please send us a message: qtncommunity@gmail.com.

QTN and the New Official Plan

The QTN Community Association proposes changes in the draft new Official Plan for Ottawa. They focus on ensuring strong neighborhoods as the population grows. How plans for intensification are done will make a big difference for QTN. The submission, prepared by the QTN Planning Committee, also addresses issues related to planning for future life between two LRT stations and protecting the trees and green spaces. In addition, it proposes that PinecrestCreek be protected as a Natural Heritage Feature in our area.

We encourage you to take a moment and read the submission (click to view PDF). If you have comments or questions, please contact the planning committee through qtncommunity@gmail.com.
