If you missed this event, don’t miss the OSCA BBQ on June 21 at 5:30 pm at Brewer Park. These events are a great way for everyone to feel part of a community. Photo by Tom Alfoldi Talent Abounds At Hopewell Avenue P.S. By Susan Atkinson f you were walking by Hopewell Avenue Public School on the Iafternoon of February 8th 2007 chances are you would not only have heard thunderous applause, whoops and whistles but also, the heat blasting from the gymnasium would have melted a path in front of you. And that was the plan! The afternoon in question was a celebration of incredible talent from Hopewell’s rising young stars. This was the 4th Annual Hopewell Talent Show and just like its predecessors it sizzled. The talent show was originally the brainchild of Hopewell teacher Marion Shynal, who introduced the idea as a way to chase away the winter blues. The premise remains the same but Madame Shynal now has a committee of teachers to help. Teachers Madame Bauer, Mrs. Legris and Mlle. Kreig, along with Madame Shynal worked tirelessly through lunch hours to audition anxious young stars.

  • How Will Council Ensure That Citizens Have Access to Records Which Define the Need to Reform Ottawa Police Service?
    Investigating the Need for Structural and Functional Reform of Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Police Services Board How Will Council Ensure that Citizens Have Access to Records Which Define the Need to Reform Ottawa Police Service?

A. Introducing Question 3, Police Reform Pilot Study As journalists and activist citizens can attest, asking some politicians questions is one thing, getting them to provide timely, pertinent, informative, unambiguous answers is often quite something else. My recent, similar experiences in that regard involving City of Ottawa politicians directly, as well as indirectly through examination of governance materials involving accountability and transparency obligations of politicians, include three related activities: 1. The transparency and accountability pilot study, Chronicling the Use of Transparency and Accountability as Political Buzzwords, and as Drivers Ensuring the Standard of Access to Public Records in Canada is Best Practice; 2. Intensive examination of the terms of the City of Ottawa Code of Conduct for Politicians (https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/accountability-and- transparency/accountability-framework/code-conduct-members-council-and- related-policies); and, 3.

  • Transit Week Challenge Toolkit Here
    Transit Week Challenge Toolkit By Free Transit Ottawa We are a group of transit-concerned, socially minded Ottawans who advocate for free transit in Ottawa. 1 Transit Week Challenge Toolkit ​ The Steps Pg. # ​ Pick a direction 2 Start organizing 3 Contact councillors 6 Be media ready 9 After the event 17 2 Transit Week Challenge Toolkit ​ 1. Pick a Direction It’s important to make sure that from the start your campaign works with your politics. Are you focusing on the quality of the service or too-high fares? Challenging councillors to take specific action or mobilizing the public? What are your demands? Will you invite only councillors, or other political and community leaders to take the challenge? If you’ll invite others, who and why? As an example, FTO focused on mobilizing the public and improving transit service. We encouraged people to use hashtags to share their complaints which demonstrated public support for transit improvements. We sent councillors a survey to complete each day and one at the end of the ​ ​ ​ challenge, which allowed us to collect stories and examples ​ of the issues with transit. Our survey asked questions about which demographics were best served by our transit system, and what issues they faced in their day. We also offered a sign-up for non-councillors, so that citizens could take part. Make sure you know your goals so you can design a coherent campaign. 3 Transit Week Challenge Toolkit ​ 2. Start Organizing To encourage councillors to be involved and to capture a wide net for your media coverage, we recommend partnering with other organizations as “endorsers.” What this means is that they support the challenge, and may choose to promote it.

  • Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020
    Transit Challenge 2020 Ottawa Transit Riders, Free Transit Ottawa, Ecology Ottawa, and Healthy Transportation Coalition Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Why the Transit Week Challenge? In 2019, Free Transit Ottawa organized a Transit Week Challenge that took place from Monday, February 4th to February 10th 2019 as a way to bring focus to transit issues within the city. Councillors were invited to rely on transit for one week – to experience the city the way many people in Ottawa already do every day. Participants were encouraged to ride transit to and from work, to shopping, to appointments, and to social events. The Challenge represented the daily reality of Ottawa’s transit dependent residents: students, commuters, low income bus riders, and others without access to vehicles. 2020 The second annual Transit challenge took place from Monday, February 17 to Sunday, February 23, 2020. It was organized by the Ottawa Transit Riders, Healthy Transportation Coalition, Ecology Ottawa, and Free Transit Ottawa. We also reached out to fellow transit advocates in other cities and were delighted that Edmonton decided to conduct a similar challenge. What was the difference between Transit Challenge 2019 and 2020? - Launch of the LRT - Expanded number of people invited (reached out to city managers and OC Transpo executives) - Tracked participation, not just agreement - Two surveys - Report released quickly after end of challenge 2 | Page Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Participants Most councillors agreed to participate.

  • Complete Streets” Wins Overwhelming Approval
    YOUR DECISION VOTE FOR A HEALTHY & GREEN OTTAWA-ELECTION 2014 ALL-CANDIDATES SURVEY UPDATED OCTOBER 17 “COMPLETE STREETS” WINS OVERWHELMING APPROVAL A solid consensus among city council candidates favours making the city’s streets safe and convenient for all modes of transportation, not just cars. An overwhelming majority support greater spending on cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, and speeding up the construc- tion of new bike paths and bike lanes. A survey conducted by Ecology Ottawa shows nearly eight out of ten candidates would prioritize pedestrian, cycling and affordable public transit infrastructure over automobile infrastructure to meet future growth. A similar number of candidates pledged to ensure all street construc- tion and renewal projects incorporate “Complete Street” principles to make streets accessible to all people, especially pedestrians, cyclists and users of public transit. Slightly fewer than eight out of ten candidates support accelerating implementation of the city’s plans for more bicycle paths and bike lanes. Each candidate’s response can be found in the table below, orga- nized by ward. Safe and Convenient Streets Many Ottawa streets are dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, and too many neighbourhoods lack affordable and convenient public transportation options. Badly designed streets not only discourage active lifestyles and limit transportation choices, they can increase traffic congestion and hike road maintenance costs. Recognizing the problem, in 2013 Ottawa City Council endorsed a “Complete Streets” approach to ensure our city’s streets are de- signed to provide safe and comfortable access for people of all ages, genders and abilities. Such streets should accommodate multiple modes of travel and can include such features as on-road bike lanes, wider sidewalks, protected crossings, landscaped areas, and traffic- calming measures.
