  • RCCAO Welcomes Changes to Ontario's Cabinet
    RCCAO welcomes changes to Ontario’s cabinet Government by DCN News Services Jun 14, 2016 TORONTO —Premier Kathleen Wynne’s decision to make Bob Chiarelli the new minister of infrastructure as part of her cabinet shuffle is being applauded by the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO). "Minister Chiarelli has a long and distinguished career of public service at both the municipal and provincial orders of government," explained RCCAO executive director Andy Manahan in a statement. "Our coalition welcomes his return to the infrastructure portfolio and we look forward to working with him to promote Ontario's Infrastructure agenda." Chiarelli was energy minister for three years and also infrastructure minister from 2010 and 2013 under former premier Dalton McGuinty. With the province committing more than $137 billion over the next 10 years to roads, bridges, public transit, hospitals and schools, it's important to have proper planning and execution, the RCCAO stated. "RCCAO's recent independent research has examined megatrends and the future of infrastructure, how best to implement the proposed federal infrastructure bank, as well as the long-term economic benefits of Ontario's 10-year infrastructure plan," the RCCAO release noted. "Chiarelli was the architect of the 10-year plan and his return to the infrastructure portfolio will give him an opportunity to carry-on this important work." The Ministry of Infrastructure is now a stand-alone ministry that is responsible for the implementation of the province's $160 billion investment over 12 years (starting in 2014-15). "Key investments in transit, housing and public infrastructure are going to create jobs and ensure that Ontario remains a global destination for talent and investment," added Manahan.

Ottawa South Community Association Review NOVEMBER 1984 Brewer playground takes shapeA by SANDRA GARLAND * Have you seen Brewer Park Playground lately? If you've been discouraged by piles of mud and lack of activity over the summer, you have a pleasant sur- prise in store. The sod-turning ceremony, which took place at the end of June, signalled the beginning of construc- tion of Phase I of the Brewer Park Development Plan, including most of the work on the playground. Unfortun- ately, many delays - overextension of equipment by the contractor, paperwork involved in buying large rocks from Regional Government - prevented comp- letion of the park on schedule. This month, however, has seen a tremendous change in the visual appearance of the play areas. And the work has not gone unnoticed. Most evenings, children can be seen crawling over the new play structures and trying out rope ladders, slides, springy teeter-totters, rope bridges, while their parents inspect the equip- ment and stroll over . the improved landscape.
