PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT 1450 MERIVALE ROAD, OTTAWA, ON Executive Summary Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) was retained by First Capital Asset Management LP (FCAM) to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) on the property located at 1450 Merivale Road in Ottawa, Ontario (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Site” or “Phase One Property”). The Site is located in the southwest part of Ottawa, southwest of the Merivale Road and Baseline Road intersection and has an approximate area of 0.22 hectares (0.56 acres). It is understood that this Phase I ESA is being carried out for Site Plan Approval purposes with the City of Ottawa (the City) and that a Record of Site Condition (RSC) pursuant to O. Reg. 153/04 – Records of Site Condition – Part XV.1, made under the Environmental Protection Act, will not be filed for the Site. The Executive Summary highlights key points from the report only; for complete information and findings, as well as the limitations, the reader should examine the complete report. The Phase I ESA was completed in accordance with the requirements of Schedule D of Ontario Regulation (O.Reg.) 153/04 as amended and included a review of available current and historical information regarding the Site and surrounding properties, a Site reconnaissance, interviews, evaluation of readily available information, and reporting, subject to the limitations outlined in Section 8.0 of this report. The Site is considered an enhanced investigation property as defined by O.Reg. 153/04 as amended, given that the Site was formerly occupied by an automobile repair facility. Based on the information provided by the Site owner and the City of Ottawa geo-map, the legal description of the Site is PLAN 30 S PT LOT 16, City of Ottawa, PIN 046860018. At the time of the Site visit on February 6, 2014, the Site was occupied by a single-storey commercial building with a garage/service bay area built in approximately 1960 and was vacant. No operations were being carried out at the Site. The Site is considered an enhanced investigation property as defined by O.Reg. 153/04 (as amended). The Site is considered an enhanced investigation property as defined by O.Reg. 153/04 (as amended). Historically, the Site was undeveloped agricultural land until approximately 1960 when the Site building was constructed. Between approximately 1960 until 2011 the building was used as an automobile showroom with a repairs garage in the north portion of the Site building. Between 2011 and 2013 the Site was occupied by temporary commercial tenants such as a Halloween store and furniture storage and warehouse. At the time of the Phase I ESA, the neighbouring properties within the Phase One Study Area used for commercial and residential purposes. Based on the information collected as part of this Phase One ESA, no areas of potential environmental concern (APECs) were identified on the Site and no potentially contaminating activities (PCAs) were identified on the Site or on the Phase I ESA Study Area that might have resulted in APECs on the Site. The following is recommended for the Site: If the monitoring wells completed as part of the 2013 Golder Phase II ESA will be no longer used, they should be decommissioned as per O. Reg.903. However, it is considered that it will be beneficial for FCAM to keep the monitoring wells for future groundwater sampling to assess if the groundwater quality at the Site has changed since the 2013 Golder Phase II ESA.

NROCRC’s catchment area is also the largest out of all the community resource centres in Ottawa. At this time, the Tools 4 School Program is seeking donations and registrants for its 2015 campaign. What is the Tools 4 School Program? The Tools 4 School program was developed in the spring of 2000 after local newspapers acknowledged the need for school supplies for local school-aged children. This need for basic school supplies is linked directly with lower self- esteem in students and contributes to diminished school performance for children and youth in our communities. The Tools 4 School program collects the much needed supplies for school-aged children in the Ottawa Community through donations, community wide supply drives, strong partnerships and corporate challenges. Every year, the Tools 4 School program distributes school supplies to children and youth in need at the start of the school year (September 2015).

    Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI-CITÉ i June 2006 Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan THE VISION The National Capital Commission (NCC) and its partners propose the following as a framework for the planning and development of the Capital Pathway network for the next 10 years: Multi-purpose use The Capital Pathway network covers Canada’s Capital Region in its entirety. It is a multi-purpose recreational and tourist network, which also supports non-motorized commuting vocations. Accessibility and safety The network extends to and links natural and built areas. Through its layout and design standards, the network encourages a quality user experience and accessibility, emphasizing the recognition of the “Green Capital”, and highlighting symbolic points of interest within the Capital. The network provides access to waterways, green spaces, cultural and heritage features while supporting the protection of natural areas and offering a wide range of easily accessible services. User education and awareness programs targeting pathway sharing in a respectful and tolerant manner result in a safe and pleasant experience. Connectivity The network, through its linkage with local cycling routes and regional/national trails, is connected to other non-motorized transportation networks within the region to encourage sustainable transportation and forms a key component of Canada’s Capital recreational and cycling experience. Recognition The network, as a result of its multi use vocation, its extensive and far reaching system of pathways and connection with regional, provincial and national trails and pathways within and outside Canada’s Capital Region as well as the quality of the experience is regarded as one of North America’s best.
