News & Announcements

I have been fielding a lot of questions about the parks closures as tickets begin to be issued against residents in violation of the orders. While everything can and will evolve, here's my understanding as I write about what is and isn't allowed.

The Province provided today its assumptions and projections about the spread of Covid-19. I've attached that .pdf below for ease of retrieval. 

Thanks to a group of residents in Hintonburg and Mechanicsville who have organized to provide help to those who may need it in the current pandemic. See their poster for details.

The City has published a new fact sheet outlining the various measures different levels of government have made available to those in financial distress as a result of the pandemic. View those in the PDF below.

If you or someone you know is experiencing distress as a result of the pandemic, the attached .pdf has numbers to call to get information related to food security, isolation and financial help.

Both Ottawa Public Health's Dr. Etches and City Manager Steve Kanellakos made presentations today at Council on the coronavirus. For ease of accessing those, I've posted those here. I have also posted the Mayor's declaration of a state of emergency in the City.

This afternoon, Dr. Etches was available to the media as part of their regular media briefings. Councillors and the public have been provided with her introductory written speaking notes, provided here. Of note is her focus on eliminating non-essential trips out of the home.

Good afternoon, everyone. Bonjour.

Ottawa Public Health has this morning issued guidance for multi-unit like condos and rental apartments. I've attached those to this post below.
