She was struck in the head with an object, which caused her to fall to the ground. The suspect was last seen walking south on Bayview Road. She was transported by Ottawa Paramedic Service to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

  • Keeping You Informed
    Newsletter Date Councillor’s Newsletter June 9 , 2017 KEEPING YOU INFORMED Councillor’s View Dear Residents, On June 5th, I had the pleasure of attending the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Kanata Extension Environmental Assessment Open House. The event was well attended with over 100 participants from within the west-end communities and it was great to see residents so engaged and asking questions for such an important topic to the future of Stittsville. The meeting discussed potential options regarding the future of the LRT extension from Moodie to Palladium through Kanata and requested feedback from community members on their thoughts. A total of 13 potential corridors were identified, including locations north, south and central to Highway 417. All options are compatible with proposed extension of LRT to Moodie (Stage 2) and Page 2 Keeping You Informed each option presented Palladium as the ideal location for the western terminus. The high density development planned for this area makes Palladium an ideal location for the line to end despite the uncertainty of what will become of the Canadian Tire Centre. I would ideally like to see the rail continue one step further and see the line extended closer to Maple Grove to better serve the residents of Stittsville. The presentation outline and boards listing provide a complete overview of the considerations for all 13 options. I am pleased to report that Corridor 8 is the recommended option going forward as there are a number of benefits to this option: - It is centrally located along Highway 417 and provides a strong spine for bus transportation to compliment the system - Serves residents north and south of the highway and therefore provides good ridership potential - Minimal impact on residents leaving near the line - Utilizes existing park and rides (Eagleson, Terry Fox, and Palladium) - Has limited affect on the natural environment - Please see the Corridor 8 Board for more information on this plan.

EMC news - Voices from Goulbourn filled the city of Ottawa temporary council chambers at Ben Franklin Place on Wednesday, July 11. It was a time of excitement, joy and pride as a contingent from the Goulbourn Male Chorus, dressed in what is becoming the Chorus' trademark of white shirts and Ontario tartan ties, was on hand to sing the national anthem at the opening of the council meeting. "We stood tall and proud as our voices filled the meeting room with a heartfelt, resounding rendition of O Canada," recounts Goulbourn Male Chorus director Robert Dueck in describing the experience. "Our united voices allowed us to express our collective pride in being a Canadian citizen," he adds. "It appeared that this collective pride was shared with all who were in attendance." Mr. Dueck also notes that the singing was well received and appreciated. He also notes that the introduction of the group by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was much appreciated by the Chorus as was the opportunity to meet city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson.

  • Your Views - Draft City Budget 2016
    Your Views - Draft City Budget 2016 The City of Ottawa is facing a $41 M deficit. This could mean cuts to important city services that we all depend upon, and others that address the needs of the most vulnerable in our community. The annual property tax increase has shrunk every year since 2011 (2.45% to 1.75%). This has meant a tighter budget each year amidst rising costs and financial pressures. An increase of 1% is $36 per year on the average property tax bill and would give the City $14 M in revenue. What investment are you prepared to make to ensure quality of life in our city? In the coming weeks, City Councillors are inviting input to inform the draft budget to be released November 12th. Contact the Mayor and your City Councillor or attend a budget consultation (see below) to let them know what you want to see in the draft budget. Potential message: I would like to make an informed choice as to choosing between services and tax increases. In the draft budget, I would like to see options as to what services would be cut or maintained with a 2%, 3% or 4% tax increase. Will you take steps to ensure this happens? For updates on City Council consultations, visit ottawa.ca: Saturday, September 19, 10 a.m to noon Nepean Sportsplex, Hall A, 1701 Woodroffe Avenue Councillors Rick Chiarelli (College Ward), Keith Egli (Knoxdale-Merivale Ward), Jan Harder (Barrhaven Ward) and Mark Taylor (Bay Ward) Saturday, September 26, 9:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m.
