SPRING CLEANING – LOCK THEM UP

SPRING CLEANING?  THIEVES HELP CHAMPLAIN PARK RESIDENTS GET RID OF WANTED ITEMS!!

Summer weather is here and it gives us the chance to get back into the great outdoors. Warm weather also brings folks with fiendish intent to our community.  In the last month, there have been reports of stolen bicycles (locked up and out of sight) on Northwestern Ave., graffiti and gang tags popping up, inappropriate activities near Pontiac/Patricia Ave., and now a stolen car on Keyworth Ave. Thieves and unwelcome visitors are once again at work in the neighbourhood.  Often these intruders are looking for the easy mark to target!  Why not make it a challenge for them to walk off with your cherished possessions?

The annual community-wide garage sale is just around the corner, which is exactly where you hope all those treasures will end up!

Please also considered donating a portion of your proceeds to the charity of your choice.

Leftover treasures

Should you have any leftover gems, keep in mind that the following weekend is not Ottawa’s Spring Give Away Weekend (the city has discontinued it). Though you may still put things out on the afternoon of the sale and mark them as Free, or use one of the matchmaking services to find someone who wants your items.
