Prior to the homicide that occurred this week on Bayswater, the Hintonburg Community Association had organized a meeting on December 12 to form a Neighbourhood Watch Group. In response to the recent events, our office in coordination with the HCA and the Ottawa Police have changed the date to December 13 in order to add extra services to this meeting, including an Update on Recent Actions and a Post-Inc
Earlier this fall, residents in Westboro Beach, and particularly Van Lang, raised the possibility of lighting a tree in Roy Duncan Park. I am very grateful for the work done by our parks department to get a new power outlet into the park to make that possible. But, for a variety of reasons, the actual tree decoration and lighting is going to need a little extra community help to accomplish.
Plan Your Parks!

Today, I joined the Mayor, representatives of all levels of government and The Ottawa Hospital leadership team at an announcement touting the Sir John Carling (CEF - East) site as a compromise location for a new Civic campus. I believe that this is a viable option that juggles multiple public interests to the larger benefit of Kitchissippi residents and residents of Ottawa. It continues to preserve a hospital close to the core, is well served today and will be better served in future by rapid transit, and preserves the research fields at the Central Experimental Farm.
Today, the National Capital Commission announced that its preferred option for re-locating or re-building the Civic campus of The Ottawa Hospital is Tunney’s Pasture. It will take some time to digest the NCC’s analysis, and to talk to residents about their reaction to this news.
As I seek Kitchissippi residents’ advice more widely, I can say that the selection will likely be hotly debated in the ward and around the city, and several considerations will rise to the fore in the days ahead. I do not envy the NCC its task in the face of multiple competing public interests.
In a very timely way, Crime Prevention Ottawa is hosting a speaker series event addressing hate crimes. Councillors McKenney, Nussbaum, Chernushenko and I were grateful on Sunday for the 300+ turnout to our solidarity walk. Residents want to speak out against hate and intolerance, and we have a responsiblity to do so. On Friday, join this event to learn how we can address it.
