Just a reminder that the sleigh ride is tomorrow, Friday. Hopefully it is wintery weather this time, if not, there’s also the January 25 Winter Carnival sleigh ride…
We’re wrapping up the survey (https://champlainpark.org/2024/11/11/ideas-for-improving-our-park) at the end of Friday, so there’s one more day to get your ideas for park improvements to us. Hopefully we have time to do a short summary in the next issue of the Champlain Speaker, which should be out in a couple of weeks. For more on this, or if you want to help out more directly, please contact the Parks Committee.
A reminder that our community association annual general meeting is on Wednesday night, see https://champlainpark.org/2024/11/15/champlain-parks-annual-general-meeting-november-20/ for details.

A reminder from the city zoning people…
The new Zoning By-law project continues to host in-person workshops. It’s an opportunity to discuss the Zoning By-law review with members of the zoning team.
There are three workshops remaining, each starting at 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm.
We are thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking tool as part of the new Zoning By-law review: the 3D Digital Twin Map.
This innovative map is designed to transform how residents and planners visualize zoning changes across Ottawa. With the 3D Digital Twin Map, users can view both the proposed new Zoning By-law zoning and the current (2008-250) Zoning By-law zoning. This dual-view feature ensures that you can easily compare and understand the proposed changes.
