Home Improvement Loans from the City

The Better Homes Ottawa Loan Program is a municipal program, delivered in partnership with EnviroCentre, provides loans from the City of Ottawa directly to homeowners to undertake energy efficiency and climate resiliency home improvements. More details on the program can be found on the Better Homes Ottawa website.

The City will be hosting a pair of online information sessions providing an overview of this program, as well as the other rebate and financial support programs available to homeowners supporting environmental home improvements. Information and registration via Zoom can be found at the links below.

November 2nd from 12 to 1pm
November 7th from 7 to 8:30pm

Job Matchmaker and Listing Service Commences

We’re starting a new way of listing babysitters, snow shovellers and other people in the neighbourhood who are looking for casual work. On the flip side, we are also listing people who want workers to help them out. Prompted by problems with creepy callers, we now have a volunteer matchmaker to act as a go-between and anonymity options for both the web listing and the paper listing.

Have a look at https://champlainpark.org/matchmaker/ for the current listings, and go there to sign up too.
