Garage Sale – August 27

Some of our neighbours on Patricia are holding a reprise garage sale on Saturday, August 27th, due to the cold and rainy June sale. They encourage others to do the same on that day.

If you’re interested and wish a bit of publicity, send the street address of your sale to the Champlain Park Webmaster (champlainpark@hotmail.ca) and we’ll post a list of garage sale locations closer to the date.

Ottawa Youth Ball Hockey League

Subject: Growing Sport in Ottawa for Children and Youth

[…] I am writing to you on behalf of the Ottawa Youth Ball Hockey League (OYBHL), a brand new youth ball hockey league in the Ottawa area. We will be launching our inaugural season this Fall/Winter out of St. Marguerite D’Youville School, and were hoping to solicit your assistance in spreading the word about OYBHL.

Our goal at OYBHL is simple. We want to keep children moving, having fun and enjoying sport. While the league is new, our founders have been involved in all facets of ball hockey (as players, coaches, convenors, referees and administrators) since the late 90s. We have a passion for the sport and would like to share such with the next generation.

We believe that ball hockey is a great way to keep our children active during the Fall and Winter months at a cost effective rate. We would be forever grateful if you could share the attached poster and/or our website (http://www.oybhl.ca/) with your community.

We appreciate any help that you can offer, and would be glad to answer any questions that you may have.

Thank you in advance for helping grow sport amongst Ottawa’s youth! We are on twitter @oybhl and facebook ! Please check it out for exclusive offers and promotions.

Sincerely,
Tyler Charbonneau

130 Carleton Avenue Development Meeting – August 10

Subject: Meeting: 130 Carleton Avenue Development Proposal, Wed. Aug. 10
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2016 16:12:58 -0400
From: pearhea@aol.com

130 Cowley Ave received redevelopment approval in 2013. Minor variance approvals were tied to the plans filed with the Committee of Adjustment. Subsequently the property was sold. The new owner has revised the plans and thus requires minor variance approvals for these new plans, which also are subject to zoning changes that have come into effect since 2013.

Effective June 27, 2016, the Ottawa Police Service will no longer take reports over the phone for certain complaints. Complainants will be redirected and strongly encouraged to utilize the online reporting application available at http://www.ottawapolice.ca/.

  • Theft
  • Lost property (with a visible S/N or distinct marking such as a custom engraving)
  • Mischief/damage to property

As many of you have heard, an active member of our community, Brad Brooks died unexpectedly on Thursday, June 30. Brad was the wife of Sarah and father to daughters Josie (13) and Lucy (10).

Although the tragic news has reached most people in our community, Brad’s family would like to make sure the community is aware of the memorial service that will be held at the West Chapel of Hulse Playfair & McGarry, 150 Woodroffe Avenue (at Richmond Road) on Saturday, July 9 at 1:30 pm. Reception to follow.

For those unable to attend the memorial service on Saturday, you are invited to visit at the West Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, on Friday (July 8) from 4:30-6:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Right to Play Canada, (http://www.righttoplay.ca/) respecting Brad’s dedication to empowering kids through sport, or to the Canadian Cancer Society (http://www.cancer.ca/), honouring the untimely deaths of many friends and family.

Neighbourwoods Tree Inventory

On 02/07/16 06:28 PM, DANIEL BUCKLES wrote:
Neighbourwoods in Champlain Park is a new initiative of residents and neighbours in Champlain Park (Kitchissippi). It aims to foster neighbourhood stewardship of the trees in Champlain Park using a scientifically sound tree inventory protocol developed by Dr. Danijela Puric-Mladenovic and Dr. Andy Kenny (University of Toronto). The protocol is used by dozens of neighbourhoods in municipalities across Ontario. It starts with gathering information on trees, including species, size, location and condition. It is also a great way for residents to learn about the trees around us and get together with others contributing to community tree stewardship. Benefits from this information may include:

  • Estimating the economic benefits of trees and forest canopy at the neighbhourhood and household level;
  • Identifying spaces in the neighbourhood where new trees can be planted;
  • Identifying declining trees in need of attention;
  • Developing group actions such as collective contracting of arborists.

All are welcome to join in for an hour or a week as we complete the inventory for the community park, and expand outwards into the community. Volunteers may come to your door to explain what it is all about and seek your assistance. We need block ambassadors and people interested in learning about trees, so please contact Catherine Shearer (metshag@gmail.com) to get involved. Information on the broader set of environmental initiatives in the community is available on the CPCA website under β€œour association”.
