Census Jobs, some at Tunney’s Pasture

From: Postorino, Joseph

[…]

For the Census in 2016 we have developed a Community Supporter Toolkit (CST) that will be available to organizations around the end of January. This will contain a variety of electronic and print media tools that you can use to help promote Census jobs and the benefits of completing the census questionnaire within your organization and with the broader community. I have attached the PowerPoint presentation describing what you can expect within the Community Supporter Toolkit. You can use this presentation within your organization to determine what tools within the CST best suit your needs.

One of our main objectives with the upcoming census is community engagement and organizations such as yours serve an important role within your communities. At this time there are 35,000 census related positions that require filling. Most of these jobs are enumerator positions and we are looking to staff them with people from communities that they will be working in. As a start, I have provided you with a promotional jobs pdf. that can be printed, or attached to a newsletter and used to advertise census jobs. Please feel free to share this with your networks where you deem appropriate. Information concerning Census jobs can also be found at: http://www.census.gc.ca/ccr16d/ccr16d_000-eng.html

Once you have had time to look over the Community Supporter Toolkit presentation, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss how we may be able to work together going forward. I can be reached at 613-951-0567 or at joseph.postorino@canada.ca. If there is a particular day or time that works best for you let me know and we can arrange to talk at that time. Also, if you have any questions, comments or issues with the material, please let me know.

Thank you,

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to mention that since Jan 10-15th there have been at least 5 B&E in the Champlain Park area. The B&E are forced entry and have been happening between the 13:00 hrs and 15:00hrs.

Just let your members know to keep an eye out for suspicious persons walking the area, possibly checking doors. Let them know that if they suspect someone they can contact the police at 613-230-6211 for a suspicious person call. Please remind them to try to give a good description along with last seen directions.

Have a great weekend

Bus Routing around LRT Construction

Thanks go to Lianne on Daniel for passing on this information.

(le français suit..)

As you are probably aware the City of Ottawa is in the midst of major construction on the Light Rail Transit (LRT) line, which will see the conversion of the Tunney’s Pasture Transitway to light rail. As the upcoming work on the LRT project may impact travelling time to and from Tunney’s Pasture, I want to share with you some important details about this project.

The transitway will close between Tunney’s Pasture and Empress Avenue, and OC Transpo buses will be detoured onto Scott and Albert Streets. To help alleviate the increase in number of buses using Scott Street the City of Ottawa has requested that 210 OC Transpo deadhead (empty) buses be detoured daily through Tunney’s Pasture starting January 17, 2016.

These buses, travelling both eastbound and westbound, consist of a maximum of 36 buses between the peak hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 60 buses between the peak hours of 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. As you can see, the greatest impact to employees who work at, or visit, Tunney’s will be around the evening commute. To help plan your travel to and from Tunney’s Pasture the attached hourly schedule shows bus volumes.

Confederation Line – Tunney’s Pasture Deadhead Detour Bus Volumes.pdf

Comme vous le savez probablement, la Ville d’Ottawa est en pleine construction d’une ligne de train léger sur rail (TLR), qui vise à remplacer le Transitway du pré Tunney en train léger sur rail. Puisque ces travaux affecteront les déplacements en provenance et à destination du pré Tunney, je souhaite vous transmettre quelques détails importants en lien avec le projet de TLR.

Le Transitway fermera entre le pré Tunney et Empress Avenue et les autobus de la Ville d’Ottawa dévieront sur les rues Scott et Albert. Afin de pallier la hausse du nombre d’autobus utilisant la rue Scott, la Ville d’Ottawa a exigé que 210 autobus de la ville roulant à vide transitent par le pré Tunney à partir du 17 janvier 2016.

Ces autobus, voyageant à la fois vers l’est et vers l’ouest, représentent au maximum 36 autobus entre les heures de pointe de 7 h à 9 h et 60 autobus entre les heures de pointe de 15 h à 17 h. Comme vous pouvez le constater, le plus grand impact pour les employés qui travaillent au pré Tunney ou qui sont en visite surviendra lors des déplacements du soir. Pour vous aider à planifier vos déplacements vers et à partir du pré Tunney, consultez le calendrier horaire ci-joint pour les volumes d’autobus.

Winter Overnight Parking Ban in Effect

http://ottawa.ca/en/news/special-advisory-winter-overnight-parking-ban-effect

Special Advisory: Winter overnight parking ban in effect
01/12/2016 12:30

Ottawa – Due to weather conditions, a winter overnight parking ban is in effect tonight between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. across Ottawa. This overnight parking ban will remain in effect until the City announces it has been lifted.

Important information about changes to winter overnight parking bans
During an overnight parking ban, residents are reminded that there is no parking on city streets so that crews can plow them easily and effectively. Vehicles parked on the street during an overnight parking ban may be ticketed, towed and fined. Avoid the ticket; do not park your vehicle on the street overnight. On-street parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction.

During winter overnight parking bans, residents will have free access to covered City-owned parking garages. For more information about which City garages are free during winter overnight parking bans, visit http://ottawa.ca/en/residents/transportation-and-parking/parking/winter-parking-november-15-april-1.

Be in the know about snow
Follow us on Twitter @ottawacity to receive updates, or subscribe to our electronic email alerts. If you subscribe to e-Alerts, you will receive notification each time an overnight parking ban is in effect, if the ban continues over more than one night and when the ban has been lifted. The service is free and you can unsubscribe at any time. Sign up today at http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/your-city-government/contact-city-ottawa/sign-e-subscriptions

For more winter parking information, please visit ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401).
