Ed Barter 166 Main Street Ottawa, Ontario KIS 1C2

Background: Transportation, Planning, Works Employment Insurance, Housing, Provincial Court, Small business, Volunteer, Heart and Stroke Foundation

The purpose of this release is to inform you that Ed BARTER will be a candidate in the forthcoming Civic Elections on 10 November 97 in Ottawa's Capital Ward for the position of Regional Councillor.

For the last 25 years, Ed BARTER has dedicated himself to the development of the community. Ed is the former Area Chairman of the Heart and Stroke Foundation for St. George's Ward. In 1990, Ed BARTER was granted from the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton an award for Recognition of Excellence for Community Services. In April 1991, Ed BARTER was nominated for an environmental award for leadership and hard work for the removal of a large gravel parking area at Algonquin College (Colonel By Campus) and having it reinstated into greenspace. Ed BARTER was also the driving force behind "If It Concerns the Community It Concerns Your, a notice of the proposed sale of Algonquin College (Colonel By Campus). This flyer was to encourage our elected representative to come up with a number of scenarios for this 9 acre site (Immaculata High School). Ed BARTER also informed the residents of Robinson Ave. and Strathcona Avenue Heights about Regional Executive's decision to make the Lees Ave. Snow Dump permanent. The Snow Dump has since been removed. Ed BARTER worked with Holm-wood Avenue residents to reverse a council decision to construct a large building at Lansdowne Park adjacent to Holmwood Avenue.

Ed BARTER's broad experience ranges from the transportation, planning, (Glebe Traffic Plan), social and private business sectors to the senior, housing and environ- mental issues.
