Hello,

As part of its emerald ash borer management activities, the National Capital Commission (NCC) is pleased to inform you that approximately 200 trees will be planted in Hampton Park in the coming weeks. This planting program is a follow-up to the tree cutting that took place in January as a result of emerald ash borer infestation.

Work will begin today and will take place from Monday to Friday between 7 am and 5 pm. The replanting is being performed by Gemma Property Services, and should be completed by mid-June, depending on equipment availability and weather conditions.

Prolonged street and trail closures will not be required for this work. However, it may require the temporary closure of trails and streets to allow access for the vehicles required to perform the work. We ask you to exercise caution, and to follow instructions provided by on-site workers.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact NCC Client Services at 613-239-5000 or info@ncc-ccn.ca.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Bonjour,

Dans le cadre de ses activités de gestion de l’agrile du frêne, la Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) a le plaisir de vous informer qu’elle plantera au-delà de 200 arbres dans le parc Hampton au cours des prochaines semaines. Ce programme de plantation fait suite à l’abattage des frênes qui a eu lieu en janvier dernier.

Les travaux se dérouleront du lundi au vendredi, entre 7 h et 17 h, à compter d’aujourd’hui. Ils se termineront au plus tard à la mi-juin, selon la disponibilité du matériel et les conditions météorologiques. Les travaux seront effectués par Gemma Property Services.

La fermeture de sentiers ou de rues pour une longue période ne sera pas nécessaire. Toutefois, ces travaux entraîneront, au besoin, la fermeture temporaire et de courte durée de sentiers et de rues afin de permettre la circulation des véhicules requis pour faire les travaux. Nous vous demandons d’être vigilants et de respecter les consignes émises par les travailleurs.

Si vous avez des questions, n’hésitez pas à communiquer avec le service à la clientèle de la CCN au 613‑239-5000 ou à info@ncc-ccn.ca.

Merci de votre collaboration.

A workshop on the plan for the proposed park along the Ottawa River

Tuesday, May 5, 7 pm to 9 pm

The National Capital Commission (NCC) is pleased to invite the public to participate in a workshop on the plan for the proposed Sir John A. Macdonald Waterfront Linear Park.

The proposed concept takes advantage of the corridor landscape, views, river heritage, ecology and experiences that reconnect people with the river. The park plan consists of diverse, accessible, attractive and complementary sectors that include protected areas, spaces for activities and events, and improved multi-modal connectivity and mobility.

The purpose of this second workshop is to view the overall draft concept for the park, strategic pillars, principles and objectives, as well as the draft concept for the individual park sectors. We will also be seeking feedback on the priorities for the next five years.

Format

The format of the event is a roaming workshop.

Each of the five segments of the Waterfront Linear Park will be presented at a station, and participants will be free to go to the stations of their choice and complete a questionnaire.

BOOK EARLY, limited space. Please RSVP at info@ncc-ccn.ca. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Universally accessible. Please let us know if you have any special needs.

Capital Illumination Workshop – March 31

This may be of interest, from http://www.ncc-ccn.gc.ca/capital-planning/public-meetings/calendar-events/capital-illumination-workshop Hope they come up with something more reliable than the Place du Portage bridge and park (lots of recessed lights hidden behind concrete, probably looked nice when new, now almost all broken).

– Alex

The NCC invites you to attend a workshop to assist in the development of an illumination plan for the core of Canada’s Capital.

This presentation will highlight UNESCO’s 2015 International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies, which is raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health.

Workshop participants will be invited to discuss the mission and objectives of the NCC’s Capital Illumination Plan, identify specific sites that should be illuminated, and complete a survey.

The workshop will include the following:

6 pm Introductions by Dr. Mark Kristmanson, CEO of the NCC
6:10 pm Presentation by Louise Filiatrault, Secretary-General, Canadian Commission for UNESCO on the 2015 International Year of Light and Light-based technologies
6:20 pm Overview of the Capital Illumination Plan, by Stephen Willis, Executive Director, Capital Planning, NCC
6:30 pm Workshop
8:35 pm Discussion and plenary
9 pm End

We look forward to your input which will help us create a holistic Plan for nighttime illumination of both public and private buildings, as well as infrastructure and public art in the urban core.

Space is limited. Please RSVP at info@ncc-ccn.ca by noon, on Monday, March 30.

Simultaneous translation will be available.
Universally accessible. Please let us know if you have any special needs.
