  • September 2018 Mark Your Calendars!
    Welcome back everyone for another great year of curling! Chair’s Report - September 2018 Welcome Back!!! It was great to see everyone at our Member's Social Night last Thursday, it is great to get caught up with curling friends, and kick off an exciting new season. If you are a new curler or just new to our club, Welcome! We hope that you will enjoy the fun and friendly atmosphere here at the Granite! Besides league play, there are several social-curling events to take part in. There are curling clinics; mini-spiels hosted by the Women's section that includes instruction; and the very popular Hospitality Bonspiel in November hosted by the Friday Mixed Recreational section. If you are a novice curler that would like to improve your curling abilities, please consider joining a team in one of the competitive sections. Playing against experienced curlers is a great way to become more involved in the strategy and enhance your level of skill. If this would appeal to you, give your name to our Club Manager, Freda Braker, and if a team is looking for a player, she can put both parties in touch with each other. The afternoon and evening Open House dates of October 9, 10, & 11 will have practice ice available. We will once again have the addition of a Public Open House on Saturday, October 13. This date will be for potential new members only so bring your non-curling friends out to get on the ice and throwing some rocks! Pre-registration is recommended for this Public Open House.

  • State of the City Address Mayor Jim Watson Wednesday, January 31
    State of the City Address Mayor Jim Watson Wednesday, January 31 The beginning of a New Year always brings with it the opportunity to look back and acknowledge what we have accomplished as a City and as a Council. It’s an exercise I enjoy going through, because it reminds us of the memorable events that have helped define our city in the last year, and gives us an opportunity to remember how our community came together. With our city growing at a fast pace and so many issues coming before us, it’s easy to lose sight of the great community-building projects that are constantly taking shape around us. Before I start, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge that we are on the unceded territory of the Algonquin People, who have lived on these ancestral lands for millennia. I value our ongoing relationship with the surrounding Algonquin communities – Pikwakanagan, Kitigan Zibi and the Algonquin’s of Ontario – and I look forward to continuing our work together to improve the lives of our residents. And I want to welcome Chief Kirby Whiteduck from Pikwakanagan who has joined us today. Page 1 of 55 As I look back on this past year, it’s easy to recognize that 2017 was a great year of celebrations for Ottawa. Our city quickly became the centre of festivities as our country came together in its nation’s capital to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. And after years of planning, our entire community embraced the celebrations and made 2017 an unforgettable year in Ottawa.
