Of2017 in Celebration of Canada's 150 PROIECTTITLE: Canada's 150*: Reconciling on our Waterways PROIECTOUTLINE: This collaborative project will bring together Canadians including the Algonquin First Nation through a focus on our waterways to encourage active living and environmental stewardship, to celebrate our diversity in inclusive ways, and to help shape Canada for the future. In the spring (including on National Aboriginal Day) of2017 in celebration of Canada's 150"‘ anniversary, a series ofpublic presentations will take place across Renfrew County. The presentations will be made by Algonquin First Nation and non-native speakers and will focus on the traditional and historical value ofthe canoe and the ancestral paddle routes in our region (including the Ottawa River which has just recently been designated as a Canadian heritage river), the need for conservation and environmental stewardship of our waterways and the importance ofactive living and transportation (including hiking, kayaks, stand—uppaddle boards). In the spring/summer of 2017, a series of paddling excursions will be organized and led by area naturalists in conjunction the Algonquin First Nation peoples along traditional routes. The launch of the paddle series will be during Aboriginal Awareness Week. Participants ofall ages and cultural backgrounds will learn about the historical and First Nations importance ofthe waterways and the need for environmental protection and stewardship of our waterways for a sustainable and healthy Canadian future. The paddle excursions will take place on many ofour Renfrew County rivers and lakes, including the Ottawa River to further celebrate its recent designation as a Canadian Heritage River, and to link the provinces ofOntario and Quebec, the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation in Ontario and the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation in Quebec. To further celebrate Canada's diversity and to highlight local talent, music, community drumming and local food will be featured at some of the group paddles events and will add to the festive nature and celebrations.

  • Celebrating the Petawawa River Part of Our Algonquin Past, Present and Future
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Algonquins of Ontario Celebrating the Petawawa River Part of our Algonquin Past, Present and Future Saturday, May 10, 2014 Centennial Park, 18 Park Drive, Petawawa, ON 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. Pembroke, Ontario (May 7, 2014) – On Saturday, May 10, 2014, the Algonquins of Ontario and the organizers of Hell or High Water 6 will be hosting an exciting celebration in honour of the Petawawa River. Running through the heart of Algonquin Traditional Territory, the Petawawa’s thundering rapids have been a source of spiritual strength to the Algonquin people since time immemorial. “There are few rivers in Algonquin Territory as vast, undeveloped, and unaltered as the Petawawa. The Algonquin people, our ancestral memory and our cultural heritage are inherently connected to this river and its adjacent lands,” states Kirby Whiteduck, Algonquin Negotiation Representative and Chief of the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation. Chief Whiteduck explains that “Saturday’s event will be an opportunity for the Algonquin people, together with our neighbours, to join together in our mutual appreciation and respect for this mighty river.” As part of the Hell or High Water 6 festivities, the Algonquins of Ontario will be hosting the following events highlighting the Petawawa River as part of our Algonquin past, present and future: TIME EVENT LOCATION 7 a.m. – Welcome and Ceremony in Honour of the Life of the Centennial Park 8:30 a.m. Petawawa River 18 Park Drive Petawawa, ON In honour of Algonquin traditions, it is kindly requested that those attending the Water Ceremony refrain from taking photographs, using any recording devices and that women wear a long skirt or sarong over their clothing.

  • 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges
    Meeting Date: November 25, 2020 Contact: Sean Crozier, Treasurer/Deputy CAO [email protected] 613-646-2282, Ext. 138 Title: 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges Recommendation: That Committee of the Whole receive the draft 2021 User Fee Schedules for discussion in advance of the Public Meeting scheduled for December 9, 2020. Background: As part of the annual budget process, user fees are reviewed to ensure revenue is generated for providing services that are not fully funded through the use of taxation, grants or reserves. Social and economic factors are taken into consideration with proposed changes. In the 2021 proposed budget, user fees represent 28% of the proposed tax levy, meaning that without the use of user fees, the tax levy would need to increase 28% to fund services offered. Analysis: The Township is proposing increases in inspection rates and the introduction of a Covid-19 related cleaning fee when required. Changes to individual schedules are summarized below. Schedule “A” Community Development: The proposed changes will position the Township to provide for comparable planning and building fees with municipalities within Renfrew County. The department will assess revenue vs. expenses for building services to comply with the Ontario Building Code Act in 2021. Schedule “B” Recreation: The proposed changes are a reflection of market rates for arenas. Schedule “C” Finance and Administration: Page 1 of 16 A slight increase to the issuance of tax certificates is proposed. Schedule “D” Legislative and Protective Services: Recreational vehicle licenses and marriage related fees have increased. It is not recommended at this time to change to a lifetime dog tag as yearly revenues aid in offsetting operational expenses.

  • COMMUNITY PROFILE a National Bloom 5 WINNER!
    COMMUNITY PROFILE A National Bloom 5 WINNER! A Community in Bloom The City of Pembroke has been participating in the Communities in Bloom program since 1999 – and it has had a beautiful impact on the community! The colourful street banners, the half barrels overflowing with flowers, the pretty containers hanging on the bridges, and the flower baskets hanging in the downtown core are all due to the Communities in Bloom initiative. Countless vol- unteer hours have been spent engaging the residents of Pembroke, and helping them to pitch in, take pride and partici- pate in the beautification and environmental responsibility efforts. In 2001 the City earned four blooms in the provincial competition, and the right to call itself “the prettiest little city in Ontario”. In 2004-2005, Pembroke competed at the national level, helping to introduce Pembroke to the rest of Canada, and was awarded 5 Blooms!

  • CFB Petawawa Military Base Upgrades Outfall
    CASE STUDY CFB Petawawa Military Base Upgrades Outfall Project: Canadian Forces Base Petawawa Location: Ottawa Valley, Ontario Owner: Department of National Defence (DND) and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Engineer: Jp2g Consultants, Inc. Contractor: H and H Construction, Inc. Approving Agency: Canadian Forces Base Petawawa Product: Stormceptor® STC 14000 CFB Petawawa’s Storm Outfall #1 provides drainage for approximately 45.9 ha (113 ac) of developed and 10.0 ha (24 ac) of undeveloped lands located within a portion of the Base. The majority of the area is already serviced by a storm sewer collection system which ultimately discharges into the Ottawa River. The developed area which contains buildings and associated parking lots is generally located on a flat sand plain, with very little fall. The storm sewer system in this area follows the land contours and therefore has very flat grades. Analysis of the pre-existing storm sewer immediately upstream of Outfall #1 indicated that the majority of the system was undersized for both the 2 and 5 year events, and flow velocities exceeded the typical recommended design velocity. This was a concern with the existing infrastructure, which included a Stormceptor (designed and installed nearly 20 years ago). As development continued on the Base over the years it was found that the resulting storm sewer hydraulic changes began to limit the existing sewer’s capcity and unit’s overall functionality. Additionally, to address additional downstream erosion issues in the creek the alignment of the Outfall #1 sewer pipe’s outlet required adjustment so it would be more in line with the creek’s flow, rather than perpendicular to it.
