Winter Overnight Parking Ban in Effect

Special Advisory: Winter overnight parking ban in effect
February 12, 2017
Announcements and Events

Due to weather conditions, a winter overnight parking ban is in effect tonight between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. across Ottawa. This overnight parking ban will remain in effect until the City announces it has been lifted.

During an overnight parking ban, residents are reminded that there is no parking on city streets so that crews can plow easily and effectively. Vehicles parked on the street during an overnight parking ban may be ticketed and towed. On-street parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction. Non permit holders can avoid fines by not parking on the street overnight.

Subject: RE: Plan Your Parks! Kitchissippi Parks Participatory Plan – Consultation. Reminder: Round 2, Session 1 – Thursday, Jan 26 6:30- 9:00pm at Churchill Senior’s Centre. Session 2 – Saturday, Jan 28 1:00- 3:30pm at Tom Brown Arena

Good afternoon everyone,

You are receiving this e-mail either as a representative of your association or because you filled out the on-line survey in December and submitted your e-mail address in order to be kept up to date.

Thank you all so much for helping us spread the word for these consultation sessions, and for those of you who have been able to attend either session in Round 1, thank you as well for taking time to attend and submit your ideas. We are really enjoying the conversation so far, and are working towards a very strong vision for the future of our CIL funds. I wanted to reach out and send a quick reminder about the up-coming sessions for Round 2 of our Kitchissippi Parks Participatory Plan. These sessions will be very important moving forward. The final sessions in Round 3 will not be the opportunity to take further feedback regarding what kind of park improvements folks would like to see. Round 3 will work towards building our priorities, after assessing all of the previously-submitted ideas. Please let me know if you need me to clarify any of that information. So if there are any ideas that have yet to come forward, this is your chance!

The two sessions for Round 2 are:

This Thursday, Jan 26 from 6:30-9:00pm at the Churchill Senior’s Centre OR

This Saturday, Jan 28 from 1:00-3:30pm at Tom Brown Arena

To learn more about what will be happening during these sessions, check out this blog post:

As a reminder, both locations are fully accessible and child care is provided! Thank you Dovercourt. J

We hope to see you and the members of your associations there.

Thank you.

Kindly,

Fiona
