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

WHEN: Thursday, October 1, 2015

TIME: 10am – 4pm

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

CONTACT INFORMATION:

Registration is not required, but if you do plan to attend and have accessibility needs, please let me know at 613-222-5633 or email me at linda.mcdonald.chrp@gmail.com .

Subj: Construction on the Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards Kicks Off in August!

Good afternoon,

I hope all is well with you, and that you are enjoying the summer! As you may know, I have the pleasure of serving as a Director of the Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards currently under development in our neighborhood at 7 Bayview Road. It will be the first entrepreneurship hub of its kind in Ottawa – and it will be located right in our backyard!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am excited to announce that construction of this novel facility is just around the corner! On August 5th, our design/build team led by Morley Hoppner will initiate the renovation of this building and transform it into the future Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards. As this unique heritage building will be located in the heart of our community, we wanted to share important information on the construction process over the next few months and what this will mean to you – our neighbors, fellow residents and future stakeholders of the Innovation Centre!

Please find attached a construction notice and backgrounder that can be shared with members of your community. This information is also posted on the Innovation Centre website: http://www.thebayviewyards.com/, and we will be tweeting it shortly. You can follow us at:@IC_BayviewYards!

Lastly, we will be hosting a community information session this fall and look forward to sharing details about this special event in the weeks ahead. Should you have any questions about construction or the Innovation Centre more broadly, please do not hesitate to contact myself, or Sonya Shorey, our Communications Strategist at 613.851.9416 or sonyashorey@rogers.com

Many thanks, and have a great holiday weekend!

Best regards,

Ian
