  • Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of Us Have Been Talking About Experimenting with a Regular Gathering of Ottawa Area Ministry Personnel
    1 Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of us have been talking about experimenting with a regular gathering of Ottawa area ministry personnel. The second Tuesday of each month (Ottawa's former Presbytery night) seemed like a natural fit. We thought a more-or-less central location close to the 417 with ample parking would work to start. We came up with Liam Maguire's on St. Laurent near Innes. I contacted them and made a reservation for 12 (seemed like a good number!) for Tuesday, August 13th at 7:30 PM. I can commit to being there for the first meet-up and hope to see some of you there. Visit the gallery of EOORC churches now on the website.

    SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ******** Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Today we are pleased to table the draft 2019 Budget for consideration and public input. The tabling of the Budget is the single most important discussion we have as a City each year. Page 1 of 54 C’est la discussion la plus importante que nous avons à chaque année. I had the pleasure of attending various ward consultations and I found that residents often have competing expectations regarding the City’s budget. However, they are also realistic about the City’s fiscal capacity – they know we have to set a limited number of priorities while living within our means. This year is particularly challenging given the compressed timeline resulting from the municipal election. Page 2 of 54 I am pleased to report that we are bringing forward a budget for 2019 that delivers on key commitments, namely: • reducing our infrastructure gap by boosting our spending on roads and sidewalks; • providing more affordable housing; and • making our communities safer and more resilient. Avec le budget 2019, nous investissons davantage dans nos routes et trottoirs et dans le logement abordable, et nous rendrons notre communauté plus sécuritaire. I want to start by sharing highlights of how Budget 2019 can help improve the lives of Ottawa residents. Page 3 of 54 Under Council’s direction, I believe we have assembled a spending plan for 2019 that balances key needs and priorities across our growing city.
