Newswest Annual General Meeting – Mon Nov. 23 at 7pm in the Hintonburg Community Centre, 1064 Wellington St. W. We encourage you to come and be a part of your community newspaper. Membership is $5.00.

Newswest is a non-profit, volunteer run community newspaper formed in 1978. It is one of the longest surviving community newspapers in Ottawa. Newswest is written by the community for the community.

Since 2003 Newswest has been published within the Kitchissippi Times but remains an independent publication. Newswest covers the area bordered by the O-train tracks and Woodroffe Avenue, between the Ottawa River and Carling Avenue. This area includes the neighbourhoods of Mechanicsville, Hintonburg, Champlain Park, West Wellington, Hampton Park, Westboro Beach, Westboro, Highland Park, McKellar Park, Carlingwood and Civic Hospital. Over 16,000 copies of Newswest are distributed free-of-charge 12 times a year to homes and retail locations in the Kitchissippi area.

Subj: Do you have seniors in your community who feel isolated, lonely & vulnerable?

Hi,

Loneliness and social isolation are major social, health and quality of life issues for older people. Did you know that about a million Canadian seniors describe themselves as lonely or socially isolated? HelpAge Canada is taking action to change this situation, by launching a campaign called:

“Seen Your Citizen”. It is a Multicultural, Multi-faith and Intergenerational day of Sharing

WHERE: First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, ON (Lots of free parking and bus accessible)

As a volunteer with HelpAge Canada I am helping to spread the word to people who may want to attend this important event. This would include seniors themselves, people who provide services to seniors, and people who care about and for seniors. Some of you may have already have been in contact with Natalie Fraser, in which case this is just a friendly reminder.

I have attached a brochure with more information about the event, and hope that you will share this information with any of the seniors who reside in your communities. Attendance is FREE, and there will be something informative and entertaining for everyone.

Warm regards,

Linda McDonald
