Everybody Welcome

Preamble: This meeting is an orientation session to start off the new year, to welcome, and introduce everyone to each other and to the community members who may be in attendance.

We will cover a number of items related to how CPCA conducts business, protects the public and volunteers through insurance, incorporation and risk management, and our duties as a corporate non-profit. Members of the community are welcome.

You will learn more about these essential business topics that support our other activities like our Social activities (Rink, Halloween, Winter Carnival, Holiday Sleigh Ride etc.), Beautifying our community through Planting, Community Clean-Up and Participation in many Municipal Issues. These business elements are essential to CPCA retaining its corporate status and to remaining in good standing with the City and other external organizations.

Our Rink has Ice Again!

From Paul O’Blenes in the Champlain Park Outdoor Rink group on Facebook this morning:

ODR, outfield and oval are open, however, it’s still a work in progress – there are bumps and there are some holes. Temporarily the north end of the rink is closed for repairs, otherwise there is lots of decent skateable ice.

Please use caution today and tomorrow. With the current cooler temperatures we hope to get the rink in better shape for the weekend.

Thanks Champlain Hoseheads and your hardwork!

Elmdale BookFest 2024 – February 23-24

Elmdale Public School is excited to announce the return of our beloved annual BookFest fundraiser, a tradition cherished by our community for over 50 years! BookFest is not just an event; it’s a celebration of literacy and community spirit.

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised over $23,000 and gathered a whopping 40,000 books! These contributions directly support the many enriching activities and programs here at Elmdale.

We warmly invite you to be part of this wonderful tradition by donating books at Elmdale Public School (49 Iona St, Ottawa) or via the Java Street entrance until February 15th.

Save the dates: February 23rd (9am-9pm) and February 24th (9am-4pm) for our BookFest sale, held in the Elmdale gymnasium! Dive into a treasure trove of books priced between $1 and $3. It’s an opportunity not to be missed for book lovers and bargain hunters alike.

Let’s come together as a community to celebrate the joy of reading and support our school. We can’t wait to see you at BookFest!
