As We Heard It Report Barrhaven Transit Forum 2.0 2 CONSULTATION SUMMARY The Barrhaven Transit Forum was held in response to consistent public dissatisfaction with transit service in Barrhaven. The intent of the meeting was to provide an opportunity to have an uninterrupted discussion about local transit needs. On February 27, 2018, Barrhaven residents were invited to join Councillors Jan Harder, Scott Moffatt and Michael Qaqish to discuss the state of transit service in Barrhaven. The workshop took place at Pierre Savard Catholic Secondary School. The over 50 attendees were invited to share their experience and concerns with transit service in Barrhaven. The meeting was facilitated by professionals from Fotenn and Parsons, with presentation boards showing a high-level overview of transit in the area. Participants were encouraged to provide verbal and written feedback on handouts or on the boards themselves. This report has compiled highlights of the public feedback and organized them into three (3) major themes that appeared during the meeting: Major Routes, Stations, and the Service and Rider Experience of OC Transpo users. This report includes images of the notes taken live during the meeting as well as comments written on the presentation boards by members of the public. Handwritten notes submitted by participants are included in an appendix.

One possible solution is renewed use of more direct express buses. 3. The report will be shared with Planning and Growth Management Staff for input in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

The Joint Needs Assessment Committee (JNAC) gathered data from previous assessments and exploratory discernment, consulted widely with the congregation and staff, and worked with Presbytery on completion of the Needs Assessment process. It was determined that one minister with the assistance of paid accountable Lay people and volunteers be engaged to lead the ministry of the congregation. To this end, the Joint Needs Assessment Committee recommends that the Barrhaven Pastoral Charge request the Ottawa Presbytery to declare a Vacancy and authorize a Joint Search Committee to find one new full-time minister (either Ordained or Diaconal) to lead worship, preside over sacraments, care for the pastorate and reach out to the community. The ideal candidate will be energetic and enthusiastic with multi-disciplinary expertise in Worship, Pastoral Care, Outreach and Christian Education. The candidate will be a preacher who is experienced in crafting dynamic worship services and is comfortable interacting and engaging with all age groups especially youth and young families. In addition, The Joint Needs Assessment Committee recommends that the Barrhaven United Church Council move to establish job descriptions and classifications for Lay staff to be engaged as support to the new minister in the ministries of Adult Christian Education programming, Youth Group, and Sunday School.
