Hello:

Could you please put this out to our community members. I have anonymized the sender. However, this kind of property damage is really dangerous and if anyone knows anything she or he can contact me or Const. Dawn Neilly at the Hintonburg Community Centre.

Thank you.

Hi Sarah,
This is just a note to let you know that my home has been the victim of malicious damage to our front bay-window.
Since we did not hear it happen – it may have happened when we were not at home – we do not know exactly when it happened. We think the damage was caused sometime in the early weeks of August this year. Our south facing window was attacked by some form of projectile that left a 1/2 inch hole in the outer pane of our thermopane bay-window. The window itself faces the street and measures 37″ wide by 49″ high. The hole is about 2 inches from the top and about 13 1/2 inches from the left (west) side.
Since the projectile did not penetrate the inner pane of glass, we surmise that it was not caused by a bullet. We think more likely that it was caused by the pellet from some form of air gun, though we cannot be sure. In either case, the damage will necessitate the complete replacement of the window which will amount to several hundred dollars.
The incident has been reported to Const. Dawn Neilly at the local Community Police Centre (Report number 15-208693). We are concerned that it may have been caused by one of the youth that live in Champlain Park. Hopefully, this kind of damage has not been perpetrated on any other home in our community.
We would be grateful if you would pass on this information to residents of our community through the Champlain Park website so that other residents can be informed of the incident. Someone, somewhere may have knowledge of who may have been responsible. If anyone has information that could help identify the perpetrator I would be grateful if they would contact us or the Community Police Centre at 613-236-1222, ext. 5871.

Amendment for Rochester Field

From: Krista.Libman@ottawa.ca
To: Jeff.Leiper@ottawa.ca
Subject: Community Heads Up: OPA – Rochester Field
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 19:23:27 +0000

Good afternoon,

I am writing to advise you of an upcoming City-initiated Official Plan Amendment (OPA) in Ward 15.

As part of the 100 Day Working Group on Stage 2 Light Rail Transit, the City agreed to settle an Ontario Municipal Board appeal by the National Capital Commission to the City’s 2003 Official Plan relating to Rochester Field by amending the Official Plan.

The proposed OPA will maintain the Major Open Space designation on one third of the property, and will redesignate the easternmost two-thirds of the land as General Urban Area, from Major Open Space. The NCC will then produce a Concept Plan for the area to determine the exact area of redesignation as well as the appropriate zoning for the area designated General Urban Area.

The expected Planning Committee date for this Official Plan Amendment is Tuesday, December 3, 2015.

A full circulation including the draft OPA will follow, but if you have any preliminary questions or comments please feel free to be in touch with me.

Feedback on Police Street Checks – August 21-26

From: PIA@ottawapolice.ca
Sent: 05/08/2015 8:49:32 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time

Dear community partners
On Behalf of the project lead A/Insp. Mark Patterson, for the Ottawa Police Service’s Street Check Project, I would like to invite you to participate in a feedback session about street checks.

In order to ensure maximum participation, we have the following options to choose from :

Friday, August 21 4:00pm- 5:30pm City Hall Festival Control Boardroom, 110 Laurier Ave.
Tuesday, August 25 10:00am-11:30am City Hall Festival Control Boardroom, 110 Laurier Ave.
Tuesday August 25 3:00pm-4:30pm Ottawa Police Station, Pat Hayes Boardroom, 474 Elgin St.
Wednesday, August 26 4:00pm-5:30pm City Hall Festival Control Boardroom, 110 Laurier Ave.

Please register here today to save your spot at one of the listed sessions. Your registration will ensure sufficient preparations for food and beverages.

The Ottawa Police Service welcomes the Ontario Government’s decision to carry out consultations this summer in order to create guidelines to standardize street checks across the province. The aim is to establish provincial rules for street checks to ensure these encounters are consistent, without bias, and carried out in a manner that promotes public confidence in order to maintain the use of a valuable tool for police. See announcement
An update on the Ottawa Police Service’s Street Check Project was provided to the Ottawa Police Services Board on Monday, July 27, 2015. The update report includes:

Street Check Public Education: Key information about our street checks including when they are warranted, the type intelligence collected and their role in preventing and solving crime;
Street Check Data 2011-2014: A summary of street check data including information on age, gender and race/ethnicity breakdown. The police service is releasing this information now without further analysis for context and trends because there have been requests from stakeholders, the media and through the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Engagement Plans: Plans for consultation that will allow us to contribute to the provincial guidelines development this summer and set the direction for another phase of community-police engagement once the provincial guidelines are released to us later this year.

Street checks are one of the intelligence tools that police use to help prevent and solve crime in the community. The development of provincial guidelines and an Ottawa Police policy will not only lead to improvements but will enhance public confidence and trust building.

Ongoing community and police feedback and dialogue is critical to next steps.

I would much appreciate your participation,
