Thank you for agreeing to share this information with your contacts and through your networks.
When does excessive alcohol use become a community problem?
Ottawa Public Health (OPH) wants to hear about the impact of excessive alcohol use in Ottawa.
February 1 to 29, the public can share their views:
· Online at http://HaveYourSayOttawa.ca/ to access the short bilingual survey
· Call the OPH Information Line at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).
· E-mail at healthsante@ottawa.ca.
In Ottawa, alcohol continues to be the most used substance and causes a greater burden of illness and deaths than other drugs, whether illegal or prescription.
Alcohol use is commonly seen as an individual choice and the consequences of excessive use, which affect the community at large, are often ignored. One-third of Canadian adults say that in the past year they experienced one or more types of harms resulting from others’ drinking.
For additional information, visit http://OttawaPublicHealth.ca/ http://www.ottawa.ca/checkyourdrinking/ or call Ottawa Public Health Information at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656). Connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.
*****************
Quand est-ce que la consommation d’alcool excessive devient un problème de communauté?
Santé publique Ottawa (SPO) souhaite obtenir l’avis de la population sur les répercussions de la consommation excessive d’alcool à Ottawa.
Les résidents pourront transmettre leurs commentaires dès le 1er au 29 février :
· en ligne, à http://DonnezVotreAvisOttawa.ca/.
· par téléphone, à la Ligne info-santé publique Ottawa, au 613‑580‑6744 (ATS: 613‑580‑9656).
· par courriel, à l’adresse healthsante@ottawa.ca.
À Ottawa, l’alcool est la substance la plus consommée, et le fardeau de maladies et de décès qu’il entraîne est supérieur à celui d’autres drogues, que ce soit des médicaments sur ordonnance ou des drogues illicites.
Comme la consommation d’alcool est généralement considérée comme un choix personnel, on ignore souvent les répercussions de la consommation excessive, qui touchent l’ensemble de la collectivité. Pourtant, le tiers des adultes canadiens ont indiqué avoir souffert d’une façon ou d’une autre de la consommation d’alcool de quelqu’un d’autre au cours de l’année dernière.
Pour en savoir plus, visitez http://SantePubliqueOttawa.ca/ http://ottawa.ca/buvezmoderement ou téléphonez à la Ligne info-santé publique Ottawa, au 613‑580‑6744 (ATS: 613‑580‑9656). Vous pouvez aussi nous suivre sur Facebook et Twitter.

From: Carol Arnason <carol.arnason@ocsb.ca>
This year we had the perfect Winter Wonderland day for our Community Winter Carnival on Saturday, January 30,2016. The outdoor rink was in excellent condition. There was a great turnout for the sleigh ride and the fieldhouse was echoing with laughter as neighbours came out of hibernation to reconnect and have a bowl of chili. Carol Arnason, Social Committee rep on the CPCA Executive, offers a huge thank you to the following people who made the day a memorable fun event:

Subject: Launching the Ontario Green Investment Fund
Dear friends,
I was very happy to join Minister Chiarelli in Ottawa to announce the launch of the Ontario Green Investment Fund and a first investment of $100 million to help homeowners reduce their energy bills and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Historically, every dollar invested in natural gas efficiency has resulted in $1.50 to $4 in savings for natural gas consumers. This investment is also expected to save an equivalent of 1.6 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
In partnership with Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas, the program will help about 37,000 homeowners conduct audits to identify energy-saving opportunities and then complete retrofits, such as replacing furnaces, water heaters and upgrading insulation. It will also help spur innovation and create jobs in clean energy industries.
Full program details, including program start date, eligible project details and amounts, will be available in the coming months.
If you have any questions regarding this funding announcement, please do not hesitate to contact my office – ynaqvi.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org or 613 722 6414.
Sincerely,
Yasir
Yasir Naqvi, MPP
