Therefore the government's policy is designed to encourage development of reasonably-priced, commercially packaged solar systems through the use of experimentation. Their publication TuAn on The Sun (1977) lists nine different examples of solar-powered heating, most of which are in single residences of south and central Ontario. The booklet lists equipment suppliers and design services as well as a large number of publications to help the homeowner understand what is involved in solar power.

by Sharon Saar by David Griffith GLEBE REPORT page 10 An Open Letter from the Mayor To the Residents of Capital Ward

As you are aware, the Ottawa Planning Board is currently considering the neighbourhood plan for Ottawa South and will soon begin review of the plans for the Glebe and Ottawa East. One concern which has been expressed in each of these plans is the im- pact of Lansdowne Park on adjacent neighbourhoods and the degree to which this impact can be minimized. While long term solutions can only be considered in light of the recommendations of the neighbourhood studies, there remains a more immediate concern with the action which the City has taken in dealing with the situation as it currently affects residents of your community.. As Lansdowne is owned and operated by the City, we recognize the special responsibility which we have in addressing this concern. This recognition is reflected in the deployment of 32 uniformed police officers to ensure proper crowd control before and after events at Lansdowne. It is further evidenced by our attempt to secure proper authority for our Parking Con- trol Officers to remove vehicles which are contravening City bylaws. With the cooperation of the residents surrounding Lansdowne however, I am confident that we can be more effective in dealing with the problems which confront your neighbourhood. For this reason, I have asked that a special Information Meeting be held on Monday May 28, 7:30 p.m. in the Assembly Hall, East End, Civic Centre. This session will allow City Lebanese food staff an opportunity to set out for you our current efforts and to receive from you comments and suggestions as to what we might be able to accom- plish through collective action Bank and Fifth I would hope that you will be able to attend this meeting as I am convinced that it is through such an exchange of information that we can begin to solve our problems. Sincerely, Marion Dewar, Mayor A l'attention des residents du quartier Capital Comme vous le savez sans doute, la Commission d'urbanisme étudie pré- sentement le plan du quartier d'Ottawa sud et se penchera bientôt sur les plans visant le Glebe et Ottawa est. Une préoccupation qui a été soulevée par rapport aux trois plans relève de l'impact du parc Lansdowne sur les quartiers avoisinants et des façons de minimiser cet impact. Puisque les solutions à long terme ne peuvent être considérées qu'à la lumiére des recommandations faites par les études de quartier, une préoccupation continue à se manifester quant aux mesures prises par la Ville à l'égard de cette situation qui touche les résidants de votre communaté. Etant donné que le parc Lansdowne est la propriété de la Ville et que celleci responsable de son administration, nous reconnaissons notre res- ponsabilité toute particulière en cette matière. Cette responsabilité se refléte par l'affectation de trentedeux policiers au parc Lansdowne lors d'une etivité afin d'assurer le contrôle de la foule avant et après le spectacle, etc. Elle se manifeste également par l'autorisation éventuelle que nous obtiendrons en vue de permettre aux agents du contra' du stationnement de faire remarquer les véhicules qui enfreignent les arrêtés municipaux. Grâce à la collaboration des résidants voisins du parc Lansdowne, je suis certaine que l'on peut résoudre les problèmes qui affigent votre quartier. Et c'est pourquoi j'ai convoqué une assemblée spéciale d'in- formation le lundi 28 mai à1930h dans la salle d'assemblée eeté est, du Centre municipal. Cette assemblée sera une occasion non seulement pour notre personnel de vous expliquer quelles mesures one été prises jusqu'à maintenant mais également pour vous, de nous faire part de vos commen- taires et suggestions quant aux moyens d'y remédier par une action colle- ctive. J'espère que vous pourrez assister à cette réunion puisque je crois fermement qu'un échange d'idées nous aidera à résoudre le problème. Le Maire, Marion Dewar

R.P. Mini-Marathon Run, Walk or Jog

On May 20 the Retinitis Pigmentosa (R.P.) Foundation will sponsor its first mini marathon. The distance is only 10km and everyone is in- vited to participate. All participants will be awarded a memento. What is the R.P. FOUNDATION? Created in 1974 to encourage research across the country directed at learning more about retinal degenerative diseases. Retinitis Pigmentosa is a mysterious group of hereditary diseases that affect the retina - the film like visual layer in the back of the eye. The retina slowly degenerates and loses its ability to transmit pictures to the brain. The Ottawa-Hu-11 Chapter, formed in 1977, will be active in its second fund raising drive in May, and especially during RP WEEK, May 14 - 20. Please support the RP Foundation in the mini marathon either by participating or sponsoring a participant. Information and sponsor sheets are available from Louis J. Cabri, 514 Driveway, 234-9186 or from Corpus Christi, First Avenue and Mutchmor schools.
