The school’s Blizzard Bazaar raised over $10,000 in a single evening on December 16th -- blasting through the $7000 goal the school had set for the entire year. Students sold a variety of homemade items, from hand-sewn dog bandannas to comic books they had written themselves. Some charged for games like bean toss or musical chairs or offered face painting. Local businesses also donated gifts for a silent auction. All funds went toward the Moving Mountains Trust, the Irish charity building the classrooms in Solio. The charity targeted that Kenyan town primarily because of the particular hardships it has faced. About 20 years Filip Bosnjak (Santa) and classmates Samuel Adam-Johnston and Mikka Zeisig ago, the Kenyan government forced the community off of its land because of fears about overpopulation, says Finding Life organization, and the Recently, the Kenyan government Elia Saikaly, head of the nonprofit man who connected Hopewell with relented and offered each Solio family Cont’d on page 8 the Moving Mountains charity. 4 1/2 acres of land, Saikaly says.

  • 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.

  • The Plan for Canada's Capital
    Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.
