Subject: Break and enters in Ottawa / Les introductions par effraction à Ottawa
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:25:12 -0400
From: Dawn Neilly <wellingtoncpc@gmail.com>
The Ottawa Police Service Break and Enter Unit has noticed an increase in reports of residential break and enters in which the suspect(s) enter the residence by an unlocked front or rear door, including patio doors.
Residents are reminded to keep their doors locked, even when at home, and to ensure any access point from the garage into the main area of the home is also locked.
As the weather warms up, residents often leave windows open and forget to close them and lock them when not at home. Locking windows is a must for ground floor and second floor windows that are easily accessible by other means, for example the garage roof or fire escape.
The addition of extra security measures for patio doors, such as a security bar or wood stick, will aid in preventing the door from being pried open. Do not leave valuables that may be easily viewed in front of windows or inside doors. We ask that residents always note and report suspicious persons in your neighbourhood.

L’Unité des introductions par effraction du Service de police d’Ottawa a noté une augmentation des signalements d’introductions par effraction dans les résidences, où les suspects s’introduisent dans la demeure par une porte avant ou arrière non verrouillée, y compris les portes patio.
On rappelle aux résidents de garder leurs portes verrouillées, même s’ils sont à la maison, et de veiller à ce que soit aussi verrouillé tout point d’accès donnant du garage à la maison proprement dite.
Avec les températures plus chaudes, il arrive fréquemment aux résidents d’ouvrir des fenêtres et d’oublier de les refermer avant de quitter la maison. Le verrouillage des fenêtres est essentiel, particulièrement celles du rez-de-chaussée et du deuxième étage, qui sont facilement accessibles par d’autres voies, notamment le toit du garage ou un escalier de secours.
L’ajout de mesures de sécurité additionnelles pour les portes patios, tels qu’une barre de sécurité ou un bâton de bois, aidera à empêcher un intrus de forcer la porte. Ne laissez pas d’objets de valeur en vue des fenêtres ou près des portes. Nous demandons aussi aux résidents, s’ils aperçoivent des individus suspects dans leur quartier, de toujours en signaler la présence.

Re: Say ‘No’ to Community Mailboxes Now
Dear Mayor Watson:
The members of the Federation have directed me to again write on their behalf. As you may recall, I wrote on January 20 requesting City Council ask Canada Post to:
Canada Post has not placed its plan on pause. The implementation of Community Mailboxes (CMBs) across Canada by Canada Post, without full and meaningful consultation, is a slap in the face to the citizens who live and/or pay taxes in the affected communities. All citizens – whether residing in Ottawa or in municipalities across the country – deserve to be treated with fairness and respect by the federal institutions that provide us with services. The actions being taken by Canada Post to implement CMBs are anything but fair, transparent or respectful. Consultation with neighbourhoods has been rare and hard to arrange.
Ottawa is a diverse city with many neighbourhoods being mature and urban, without the benefit of large, under-used spaces to accommodate CMBs. Accompanying traffic, litter, crime and noise will be a burden to adjacent property owner or nearby resident. CMB’s will lower property value and quality of life.
Reported experience of some of our members suggest any placement will be contentious and divisive. Worse though is that Canada Post proceeding with no consultation and minimal information for the affected neighbourhoods. We know that these CMBs will impose undue hardships on seniors or those with disabilities, especially in our harsh winters. There will also be additional municipal cost burdens to provide for lighting, litter and snow removal. Many questions remain unanswered regarding costs, security and accessibility.
Considering all of the negative impacts associated with this action by Canada Post, we call on you, our Mayor and Council to join close to 600 other Canadian municipalities and to officially oppose Canada Post’s plan for CMBs.
Should a motion come before Council, know that our residents we represent want to see leadership from the City of Ottawa, Canada’s capital in fighting plan for CMBs.
Yours truly,
Graeme Roderick, President

Cheryl Parrott is passing on the following information:
Another scam is operating in the Hintonburg neighbourhood, this time by Ontario Energy Group.
A rep shows up at your door (today it was a very pushy blond girl in her 20’s with a lot of makeup on) and asks questions about your home heating and air system. Then you are told by the rep that they need access to the inside of your house so that they can do a “visual”. At that point I said no, then was told that someone else would come by later and try again because a “visual” was mandatory, to which I again said no. The rep left, annoyed, but who knows, maybe later they’ll try again.
I did read up on the company and they exist as an HVAC sales company, but in no way are they “official” anythings. There have been complaints about them in the past and sometimes they operate under another name.

Subject: Winston Square Grand Opening
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2015 20:43:00 +0000
Press Release
For months the buzz has been building, and we’re a few short days away from the Winston Square urban park grand opening! The whole city is invited to the party on June 6 at 388 Richmond Road
Join Councillor Jeff Leiper, Mayor Jim Watson, the Westboro Village Business Improvement Area, and special guests to officially open the space. There will be musical performances, activities and more for much of the day, and the official ribbon-cutting happens at 2:00. See you there!
Winston Square is the first of its kind in Ottawa: a disused right-of-way repurposed to create a dynamic urban space for gathering in the heart of Westboro. The space combines a sleek, modern design with an architectural theme mimicking the rooflines of the homes along Winston Avenue, joining the square to the community. In the spring, the living walls are now coming to life and, in the fall, the Virginia Creeper ivy will be ablaze in oranges and reds. Permanent fixtures and moveable furniture will invite guests to make themselves at home in the Square, and the addition of a custom-designed chandelier later this summer, celebrating the flora and animals indigenous to the Ward, will add a warm, welcoming glow.

The Facts
What: A new urban park in the heart of Westboro that will be programmed with music, crafts, and entertainment all summer long by the Westboro Village BIA. The park had its genesis in a request by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 480 to beautify the right-of-way space next to its building. Community consultations resulted in the beautiful oasis now being opened.
Where: Adjacent to the Westboro Legion at 391 Richmond Road
How: The Winston Square Park was paid for through $420,000 cash-in-lieu-of-parkland funding from the Councillor’s office.
