Subj: Construction on the Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards Kicks Off in August!

Good afternoon,

I hope all is well with you, and that you are enjoying the summer! As you may know, I have the pleasure of serving as a Director of the Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards currently under development in our neighborhood at 7 Bayview Road. It will be the first entrepreneurship hub of its kind in Ottawa – and it will be located right in our backyard!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am excited to announce that construction of this novel facility is just around the corner! On August 5th, our design/build team led by Morley Hoppner will initiate the renovation of this building and transform it into the future Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards. As this unique heritage building will be located in the heart of our community, we wanted to share important information on the construction process over the next few months and what this will mean to you – our neighbors, fellow residents and future stakeholders of the Innovation Centre!

Please find attached a construction notice and backgrounder that can be shared with members of your community. This information is also posted on the Innovation Centre website: http://www.thebayviewyards.com/, and we will be tweeting it shortly. You can follow us at:@IC_BayviewYards!

Lastly, we will be hosting a community information session this fall and look forward to sharing details about this special event in the weeks ahead. Should you have any questions about construction or the Innovation Centre more broadly, please do not hesitate to contact myself, or Sonya Shorey, our Communications Strategist at 613.851.9416 or sonyashorey@rogers.com

Many thanks, and have a great holiday weekend!

Best regards,

Ian

You’re Invited

Come and see the future Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards
Community Open House and Tours
7 Bayview Road
Saturday, April 26, 2014
2:00 – 4:00 PM

Did you know that there’s a $30 M plan to develop an Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards? In partnership with the Province of Ontario, we’re building a 45,000 square foot facility that will provide space to incubate and grow new businesses from the ground up in Ottawa, creating jobs and diversifying our economy.

This facility will welcome the greater community of Mechanicsville, Hintonburg and the whole City, with new facilities and community spaces, and provide amenities such as a new cafe.

The greater Bayview Yards area is set to become Ottawa’s next great urban neighbourhood, bringing homes and jobs to the junction of the Confederation Line LRT and the O-Train at Bayview Station. The Innovation Centre is just the first public facility which will anchor this exciting new area. This is all part of a community vision articulated in the Bayview Community Design Plan.

The details of this exciting plan will soon be presented, but you are invited for a sneak peak.

I hope to see you at Bayview Yards this Saturday.

Thanks,
Katherine Hobbs
