The NCC is consulting the public about the new location of the Civic hospital. Since one of the locations is the nearby Tunney’s Pasture campus, and it’s a locally used hospital, I think it’s worthwhile to point out the NCC’s survey, which is available until October 6th. Have a look at:

Together with the Champlain Park Community Association (CPCA), Kitchissippi Ward Councillor Jeff Leiper would like to invite you to come and discuss the potential permanent closure of Pontiac Street, between Carleton Ave and Cowley Ave. The street closure would help expand Champlain Park north across Pontiac St and would connect the park with the NCC parkway lands. Further, the street closure would create a connection between the new 16km Sir John A. Macdonald Winter Trail, Champlain Park and the broader community.
Please join us to learn more and to let us know what you think. We look forward to your feedback!

It looks like the recently distributed agenda is still being worked on. As well, there may be a venue change. Stay tuned; we’ll post an update once everything has been finalised.
Subject: Paving scam / Arnaque pavage

The Ottawa Police Organized Fraud Unit is warning the public about a new scam that has emerged in Ottawa.
The Ottawa Police has received complaints from people who have “hired” paving contractors who come to the door, with promises of an inexpensive paving job for their lane. No paperwork is exchanged, a verbal price is agreed upon, and when the work is complete, they charge a much higher amount and pressure the purchaser to pay.
The “salesmen” appear to be young white males, who speak with an Irish accent.
The Ottawa Police Organized Fraud Section wants to remind the public that any contractor work should come with a signed hard copy contract, and that if any deal appears too good to be true, it probably is.
Take the time to reflect on the deal before agreeing. There is no hurry to sign the deal at the door.
Remember that once you agree to the work, you have to pay for the work, so that is why it is important to get a contract before the work starts.
L’Unité des fraudes organisées de la Police d’Ottawa tient à mettre la population en garde à propos d’une nouvelle arnaque qui vient de se manifester à Ottawa.
La Police d’Ottawa a reçu des plaintes de la part de gens qui ont « engagé » des entrepreneurs en pavage qui se présentent aux portes avec des promesses d’un travail de pavage à bas prix pour leur entrée. Aucun papier n’est échangé, on s’entend verbalement sur un prix, et lorsque l’ouvrage est terminé, ils exigent un montant bien plus élevé et font pression sur l’acheteur pour obtenir paiement.
Les « vendeurs » seraient de jeunes hommes de race blanche, parlant avec un accent irlandais.
La Section des fraudes organisées de la Police d’Ottawa souhaite rappeler aux gens que tout travail à effectuer par un entrepreneur doit être accompagné d’un contrat version papier signé, et que si une aubaine semble être trop belle pour être vraie, c’est probablement le cas.
Prenez le temps de réfléchir à l’affaire avant de la conclure. Rien ne presse, nul besoin de signer l’entente à votre porte. N’oubliez pas que lorsque vous avez accepté de faire exécuter des travaux, vous devez verser un certain montant, c’est pourquoi il est important d’obtenir un contrat avant d’amorcer l’ouvrage.

Our local curling club on Scott Street is offering free introduction to curling for women by women.

Daniel Buckles has written up a post on the Champlain Oaks site describing this weekend’s tree planting activity, with plenty of photos. Just in time for the seedlings to be watered by today’s rains! Have a look at:
http://www.champlainoaks.com/2016/09/fostering-forest-succession-in-champlain-park/
The National Capital Commission and community groups in Champlain Park have struck an agreement to foster a healthy forest between Pontiac Ave and the Parkway. In the spring the NCC removed buckthorn and felled dead trees that were possible hazards along pathways. We will plant trees in these cleared spaces to support the gradual succession of the flora and fauna towards a mature forest.
Come with your shovels near the north entrance to St. Georges’ School, between 9 am and 4 pm Saturday and 9 am and 2 pm on Sunday. Contact Daniel Buckles if you have any questions: 613-807-8048; dbuckles@sympatico.ca
