Hobbs BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor’s remarks given at the City Council Meeting of OTTAWA CITY COUNCIL 3 MINUTES 68 WEDNESDAY, 22 JANUARY 2014 22 January 2014 be printed in the Minutes of today’s Council meeting. CARRIED [CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY] Good morning and Happy New Year. This morning, I want to speak about where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going as a city. Because what takes place at City Hall this year will be a direct result of the actions we’ve taken around this table over the last three years. And when you look back, those actions have been substantial. Each and every day, this Council is showing that we’re focused on more than just talk. We’re focused on action. And in Ottawa, we have acted decisively. Four years ago, our residents didn’t see themselves in City Hall. When they looked at City Hall, it was a building that you only visited when you had to pay a parking ticket. So, we changed that. We added the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery and the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame. We have the Rink of Dreams, which was a great community gift from the Ottawa Senators Foundation. Last month, we opened the beautiful new Karsh Masson Gallery and worked even harder to make City Hall more of a people place. I’m pleased to report that in 2013, compared to 2012, the number of festivals and activities at City Hall more than doubled – from 77 to 179. We’ve also opened up City Hall to the public eye as well. We didn’t wait for a scandal to put in place the most comprehensive integrity package in all of Ontario. We were proactive and put our expenses online, launched a lobbyist registry and a gift registry, and hired an Integrity Commissioner. We opened up citizen representation on the public health board, the Transit Commission, and the Built Heritage Sub-Committee. We’ve also taken action where there has been inaction in the past. Three years ago, when residents looked at major city-building projects like LRT and Lansdowne, they didn’t have the confidence that they’d ever see them built in their lifetime. We changed that too. We made progress on these fronts, and so many others, because residents expected more from their City Council. They expected us to put together a clear agenda… And to work together in finding common ground. So we did. And we delivered. …2013 was a year of action. And 2014 will be a year of progress. Our city is in a period of unprecedented change. This year, it will take focus, steady OTTAWA CITY COUNCIL 4 MINUTES 68 WEDNESDAY, 22 JANUARY 2014 hands, and hard work to ensure we continue making progress. There will be much debate and discussion outside the walls of this place, as there should be. Our city and our democracy are made stronger by healthy conversations over the direction we should take together. But inside these walls, it is now more important than ever that we continue with the same stability and certainty that residents have come to expect from us. And that means delivering on our commitments for the 312 days remaining in our mandate. One of those commitments comes from the very successful Planning Summit we hosted less than two years ago. At that event, I committed to putting before City Council an official plan that promoted certainty and predictability for both communities and the development industry. The Planning Committee, under the leadership of Councillor Peter Hume, did just that. Our newly minted Official Plan – all of its words, schedules and appendices – embody certainty and predictability. These central themes were unanimously approved by City Council. This year, we will now move forward to implement it with a zoning bylaw that puts the words of the Official Plan into action. It is what the community has asked us to do and we will deliver. Certainty has by no means been accepted by all. There will always be those developers who seek to push the envelope. They will ask for more. They will always have reasons, such as a bad location or poor soil. If we open that door and let just one of those go… If we give a little more because it is easier than saying no… Then we will just hear more requests. We have an Official Plan – it is a good plan – a plan to make Ottawa better, more liveable and sustainable – we need to stick to it. And we need to look to the future of planning in this city. We are clearly in a new era of city building in Ottawa, with taller buildings both inside and outside the Greenbelt, intensifying main streets, and more cohesive suburban development. The scale and complexity of the current planning environment requires well-considered choices, but it provides for great potential in design. One just has to look at some of the blank walls – some 27 stories high – that dot our skyline to see the potential for doing better. For 2014, we will continue to provide leadership and seek excellence in architecture and built form. Stable neighbourhoods are paramount. But where new development and change will occur, a consistent priority for us should be attractive buildings, and high quality places and spaces. And we will lead by example in this regard… Later this year, we will award the contracts for two major developments that we approved unanimously last year. The first is a revitalized Arts Court and expanded Ottawa Art Gallery. This world-class facility will be a place where our city’s talents are celebrated… and new ones are discovered. It will be a true gem in the downtown, OTTAWA CITY COUNCIL 5 MINUTES 68 WEDNESDAY, 22 JANUARY 2014 bolstered by a revitalized Rideau Street, an expanded Rideau Centre and connected to the rest of the city by the new Rideau LRT station just a few steps away. We will also move forward with the first phase of a new innovation complex at Bayview Yards.It will be a place where our small and medium sized businesses – the lifeblood of Ottawa’s new economy – get the tools and resources they need to grow, compete and succeed. And it’s where Invest Ottawa – which turns 2 next month – will continue its already impressive work in supporting private sector job growth. These two projects show the principles of balance and fairness that have characterized our Council. That’s because we understand that investing in business and investing in the arts should never be mutually exclusive. Culture and economic development are part of the same dynamic that brings high quality of life to residents. We will also see a number of important recreation projects completed this year. Richcraft Sensplex East is on track to open later this fall in Councillor Tierney’s ward. This will bring much-needed ice time to residents of all ages. This project was approved and will be completed within a span of less than two years – even more evidence of how quickly and decisively we’ve worked together. Last month, we opened the Richcraft Recreation Centre in Kanata in Councillor Wilkinson’s ward. It’s a beautiful facility that is being enjoyed by residents from the wards of Councillor Hubley, El-Chantiry and Qadri as well. We will continue this momentum in 2014 by opening the Minto Recreation Complex in Councillor Harder’s ward in Barrhaven. Residents in one of our fastest growing areas – including residents from the wards of Councillors Desroches and Moffatt – will enjoy two NHL-sized ice rinks and a six-lane pool in this beautiful new facility. We also opened our first new indoor pool since amalgamation at the Francois Dupuis Recreation Center in Councillor Blais’ ward. In total, in this term of Council, we will have expanded or built about half a million square feet of new recreational and community space. That’s enough room to fit every single child in our city – plus one parent each! And we’ve made accessibility improvements to many other facilities through stimulus partnerships with other levels of government and our own Older Adult Action Plan, under the guidance of Councillor Taylor.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    Goulbourn Museum Annual Report 16 www.goulbournmuseum.ca Sharing the Story of Ottawa’s Oldest Military Settlement FROM THE CURATOR MANAGER 2016 was a successful year for the Goulbourn Museum. The Old-Fashioned Christmas & Outdoor Artisan Market saw a 21% increase in attendance, a new point-of-sale system was installed; a significant sponsorship was secured; and the gift shop was revived with new product. We also launched Healing Hands — Medicine During the World Wars and Food Will Win the War, for which we received funding from the Government of Canada’s World War Commemorations Community Fund. Museum staff undertook several training opportunities in 2016. Full time staff completed a two-day certification seminar in First Aid, CPR and defibrillator training, while part time staff completed one-day training. To ensure an understanding of the law and safe-handling practices, staff took the Canadian Firearms Safety Course onsite. This training was also made available to other museum professionals in the Ottawa Museum Network resulting in a small workshop in the Museum. I was honoured to receive the Ontario Museum Association’s (OMA) 2016 Promising Leadership Award of Excellence and attended my first OMA conference as an employee of the Museum. I enjoyed the presentations and discussions with colleagues from across the Province. We received an incredible amount of support from 72 volunteers who collectively put in 1,108 hours of their time to assist with many areas of museum work, including governance and planning efforts, artefact cataloguing, digitization projects, fundraising, programs and events. The Museum’s achievements are a direct result of your hard work and dedication.
