Community Garage Sale

Yes, it’s that time of year again!

Time to buy back all that stuff you sold to your neighbour last year, but at twice the price.

We are planning to hold the community-wide garage sale again this year.
As usual, it will be held on the first Saturday in June.

Event date:  Saturday June 7, 2014.
Rain date:  Should it be pouring rain, the sale is moved to Sunday, June 8.

Residents on Island Park will also be holding their garage sale as part of this community-wide bargain hunters dream!

Think about donating a portion of your proceeds to the charity of your choice, or  to help support Champlain Park Community Association.

Leftover treasures
If you have leftover treasures when the garage sale ends keep in mind that the Ottawa’s Spring Give Away Weekend  will take place the same weekend as the garage sale  (both days).
See Rules for setting out at your Leftover Treasures at the  “Ottawa’s Spring Give Away Weekend” link provided above.

Ottawa Election 2014 – What’s important to you?

ecology ottawa logo2014 is an election year and your vote will help decide who leads our city into the future, so please take a moment to let us know what is important to you by taking a quick election survey.

Your answers will help guide our work over the coming year.

October’s election will help determine whether or not our city enjoys

  • affordable and convenient public transit
  • walkable and bike-safe communities
  • clean rivers
  • a healthy urban forest
  • clean energy options to break our oil dependence, doing our share to fight climate change

Ecology Ottawa will be working with like-minded people across the city to encourage candidates to show environmental leadership and your feedback will help guide our work. We’ll be looking for politicians who take strong positions for a sustainable city.

Please take a few moments to answer eight questions about your local environmental priorities. We’ll keep you up to date on the issues you care about most.

Take the survey here.

Sincerely
Graham Saul
Ecology Ottawa, Executive Director
