From city councillor Jeff Leiper https://kitchissippiward.ca/content/ward-volunteer-call-out

Many of you have reached out in the past few days to let me know you’d be willing to volunteer in the ward. We don’t know, yet, what those needs might be, but I’d like to now start capturing that interest in anticipation of future need. If you live in Kitchissippi ward and want to volunteer here, please fill out the form here. Thank you!

There is also the potential that the City may have a general call-out for volunteers as they mobilized for flooding. If and when that call is made, I’ll be sure to pass that on!

The volunteering form URL is https://kitchissippiward.ca/content/volunteer-call-out

Now libraries are closed too, until at least April 5. Details at https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/ including extended expiry dates etc. Also see https://ottawa.ca/en/health-and-public-safety/emergency-preparedness/covid-19-ottawa for the latest list of city closures and what precautions to take.
