200809-Champlain-Speaker-V28n5 CHAMPLAIN SPEAKER September 2008 Vol. 28, No.5 What community really means What community really means Champlain Park can be truly proud of its reputation for being a friendly and active place in which to live. As we have become a more mobile society, many of us here in Champlain Park have been transplanted from other parts of the country or the world, and as a result do not have family in Ottawa. Recently I had surgery and was limited in what I was able to do for a six-week period afterwards. I was not able to drive, lift, or carry anything. My neighbours pitched in. They drove me to doctors’ appointments, took me for groceries, brought meals, walked my dog, visited me, took me out for coffee and other outings. I felt well looked-after. Their practical support was invaluable. It was also a chance to get to know my neighbours better by exchanging gardening tips, sharing books and spending time. I wanted to publicly thank all my neighbours for their gestures of caring. Community is not just the streets and houses in the community but the people who make it the place that it is. I am very grateful that I live in this neighbourhood. Also, this is a good opportunity to remind neighbours: if you need support, ask for it, and if you see a neighbour in need, perhaps you can lend a helping hand. –Sandy, a Champlain Park resident (surname withheld at author’s request) Report on 215 Carleton Ave. existing neighbourhood.

  • Four Privatized P3 Ontario Hospital Projects
    Backgrounder ______________________________________________________________________________ Four Privatized P3 Ontario Hospital Projects Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre The P3 Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre opened October 27, 2006. With the Brampton Civic Hospital, the Royal Ottawa was the first hospital in Ontario to be designed, built, financed and maintained by the private sector. The hospital was originally designed to hold 284 beds at a cost of $95 million. It opened two years later as a 188 bed hospital costing $146 million -- $51 million over the original target budget and significantly smaller than planned. The hospital CEO has said that the Royal Ottawa has to pay $1,090,259 monthly over 248 months (22 years and 8 months) at an interest rate of 6.33 per cent. (See attached Ottawa Citizen story, January 26, 2009.) OPSEU has released two reports on the P3 indicating that the problems encountered in the new P3 exceed a tolerable level of errors and omissions, inconvenience and risk. Problems have had a serious impact on operating efficiency. The hospital CEO claimed that most of the "teething" problems had nothing to do with the P3 arrangement for financing the project. Nevertheless he also states: "When I got here, we had 54 major deficiencies that needed to be fixed and all I've been doing is fixing things and making sure the place runs well". There have been many calls for a review of the project by the auditor general in light of revelations by the auditor concerning the Brampton P3 hospital, but they have been resisted by the hospital. (See attached January 26 Citizen story.) North Bay Regional Health Centre The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the North Bay Regional Health Centre was released March 3 2006.

    Sunday, November 20, 2016 210 Gloucester Street Hon. Catherine McKenna Suite 101 Ottawa, Ontario Member of Parliament – Ottawa Centre K2P 2K4 Minister of the Environment and Climate Change 107 Catherine St, Ottawa, ON, K2P 0P4 www.centretowncitizens.ca Tomas Whillans Dear Minister McKenna, CCCA President Re: New location for Ottawa’s Central Library I am writing to you, on behalf of the Centretown Citizens Community Association, in your capacity as our Member of Parliament for Ottawa-Centre and in admiration for what you achieved by ensuring transparency and consultation with regard to choosing the site for the Ottawa Civic Hospital. We are seeking your support in what we consider an equally important issue -- the location the new Central Library. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you on this matter, ideally before December 15 when the Ottawa Public Library Board will publicly release the staff recommendations for a site and other aspects of the project. Our community association is deeply troubled and opposed to the plan to locate the new central library outside Centretown. Statements by the Mayor lead us to believe that Lebreton Flats is almost certain to be the favoured location. We believe that this would be the wrong decision for our City and for the downtown community that is the heart of Ottawa. Assuming that the City is seeking federal funding for this major public project, we urge you to consider the impact of relocating a major piece of social infrastructure away from the densely populated downtown core where users live and work. This major decision is being made by the City without the kind of open and transparent process that is required to serve the public interest.
