The Spring issue of the Glabar Gazette is now available online and will be delivered door-to-door by Canada Post later this month. The Gazette is produced twice a year by the Glabar Park Community Alliance and captures recent goings-on in the neighbourhood.

This issue recaps the Kingsmere Park rink season, Winter Fun Day and the work of a new coalition seeking to improve traffic along the Carling and Woodroffe corridor. It also reports the date for Summer Fun Day and the possibility of a new name for Kingsmere Park – of course, with the COVID-19 situation as it stands, these are obviously subject to change. The City of Ottawa has announced that the Spring Giveaway Weekend will not take place in June, so the Great Glabar Park Garage Sale is postponed, too.

It’s difficult to reflect on the past few months, or plan even a few weeks into the future, when a global pandemic has everyone very much focused on the present. This issue shares some stories and pictures contributed by residents that will hopefully help keep your spirits up – and your connection to the community going – during this unprecedented time.
