Chief Whiteduck explains that “Saturday’s event will be an opportunity for the Algonquin people, together with our neighbours, to join together in our mutual appreciation and respect for this mighty river.” As part of the Hell or High Water 6 festivities, the Algonquins of Ontario will be hosting the following events highlighting the Petawawa River as part of our Algonquin past, present and future: TIME EVENT LOCATION 7 a.m. – Welcome and Ceremony in Honour of the Life of the Centennial Park 8:30 a.m. Petawawa River 18 Park Drive Petawawa, ON In honour of Algonquin traditions, it is kindly requested that those attending the Water Ceremony refrain from taking photographs, using any recording devices and that women wear a long skirt or sarong over their clothing.

  • 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges
    Meeting Date: November 25, 2020 Contact: Sean Crozier, Treasurer/Deputy CAO [email protected] 613-646-2282, Ext. 138 Title: 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges Recommendation: That Committee of the Whole receive the draft 2021 User Fee Schedules for discussion in advance of the Public Meeting scheduled for December 9, 2020. Background: As part of the annual budget process, user fees are reviewed to ensure revenue is generated for providing services that are not fully funded through the use of taxation, grants or reserves. Social and economic factors are taken into consideration with proposed changes. In the 2021 proposed budget, user fees represent 28% of the proposed tax levy, meaning that without the use of user fees, the tax levy would need to increase 28% to fund services offered. Analysis: The Township is proposing increases in inspection rates and the introduction of a Covid-19 related cleaning fee when required. Changes to individual schedules are summarized below. Schedule “A” Community Development: The proposed changes will position the Township to provide for comparable planning and building fees with municipalities within Renfrew County. The department will assess revenue vs. expenses for building services to comply with the Ontario Building Code Act in 2021. Schedule “B” Recreation: The proposed changes are a reflection of market rates for arenas. Schedule “C” Finance and Administration: Page 1 of 16 A slight increase to the issuance of tax certificates is proposed. Schedule “D” Legislative and Protective Services: Recreational vehicle licenses and marriage related fees have increased. It is not recommended at this time to change to a lifetime dog tag as yearly revenues aid in offsetting operational expenses.

  • COMMUNITY PROFILE a National Bloom 5 WINNER!
    COMMUNITY PROFILE A National Bloom 5 WINNER! A Community in Bloom The City of Pembroke has been participating in the Communities in Bloom program since 1999 – and it has had a beautiful impact on the community! The colourful street banners, the half barrels overflowing with flowers, the pretty containers hanging on the bridges, and the flower baskets hanging in the downtown core are all due to the Communities in Bloom initiative. Countless vol- unteer hours have been spent engaging the residents of Pembroke, and helping them to pitch in, take pride and partici- pate in the beautification and environmental responsibility efforts. In 2001 the City earned four blooms in the provincial competition, and the right to call itself “the prettiest little city in Ontario”. In 2004-2005, Pembroke competed at the national level, helping to introduce Pembroke to the rest of Canada, and was awarded 5 Blooms!

  • CFB Petawawa Military Base Upgrades Outfall
    CASE STUDY CFB Petawawa Military Base Upgrades Outfall Project: Canadian Forces Base Petawawa Location: Ottawa Valley, Ontario Owner: Department of National Defence (DND) and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Engineer: Jp2g Consultants, Inc. Contractor: H and H Construction, Inc. Approving Agency: Canadian Forces Base Petawawa Product: Stormceptor® STC 14000 CFB Petawawa’s Storm Outfall #1 provides drainage for approximately 45.9 ha (113 ac) of developed and 10.0 ha (24 ac) of undeveloped lands located within a portion of the Base. The majority of the area is already serviced by a storm sewer collection system which ultimately discharges into the Ottawa River. The developed area which contains buildings and associated parking lots is generally located on a flat sand plain, with very little fall. The storm sewer system in this area follows the land contours and therefore has very flat grades. Analysis of the pre-existing storm sewer immediately upstream of Outfall #1 indicated that the majority of the system was undersized for both the 2 and 5 year events, and flow velocities exceeded the typical recommended design velocity. This was a concern with the existing infrastructure, which included a Stormceptor (designed and installed nearly 20 years ago). As development continued on the Base over the years it was found that the resulting storm sewer hydraulic changes began to limit the existing sewer’s capcity and unit’s overall functionality. Additionally, to address additional downstream erosion issues in the creek the alignment of the Outfall #1 sewer pipe’s outlet required adjustment so it would be more in line with the creek’s flow, rather than perpendicular to it.

I appreciate having this opportunity to voice my objections. I grew up in Petawawa, cottage in Downey’s Bay, Sheenboro and I am a member of the Old Fort William Cottager’s Association (OFWCA) and I am a River Watcher with the Ottawa River Keeper. I strongly concur with the eloquent submissions from the following individuals and organizations regarding both the in-situ decommissioning at Rolphton and at Whiteshell in Manitoba: J.R. Walker, William Turner, Michael Stephens, Dr. Gordon Edwards, Northwatch and Canadian Environmental Law Association. I also concur with the reasons behind OFWCA’s vehement objections to the proposal at Rolphton: 1. Entombment just below surface of radioactive materials that will be hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years and abandonment after only 100 years is unacceptable and is against International Atomic Energy Agency standards. 2. Entombing and abandoning these same radioactive materials as well as other toxic mixed wastes within a few hundred metres of the Ottawa River, where all surface water and groundwater migrates to that river, is totally unacceptable.
