Woodpark is also holding a community garage sale on June 8th. They created a map where individuals can add their garage sale location: https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=3047948
Woodpark has invited us to use the same map if Glabar Park residents want to add their location. This will give more visibility to your garage sale.
Further to the May 16 post about the Gazette being available online, we finished delivering the Gazette yesterday. Hopefully everyone received one in their mailbox!

The GPCA received the following email from the City of Ottawa on May 23:
Dear Ward 7 – Bay Community Association,
In April 2019, as part of the Heritage Inventory Project, Heritage Services staff sent letters to owners of approximately 480 properties in wards 1, 5, 7 and 19 informing them that their properties were being proposed for addition to the City of Ottawa’s Heritage Register. A report to Built Heritage Sub-Committee was scheduled for June 11, 2019 to recommend that these and approximately 2100 additional properties in the remaining wards be added to the Register as non-designated listings.
In response to the major flooding occurring in and around the City of Ottawa, Heritage Services staff have been directed to remove properties in wards 1, 5, 7 and 19 from the June report to Built Heritage Sub-Committee. These properties will be recommended for addition to the Heritage Register in a report postponed until fall 2019.
The drop-in session scheduled for May 1 at the West Carleton Client Service Centre was cancelled due to ongoing flood relief efforts being undertaken by City staff. We sincerely apologize for the last-minute cancellation and apologize for any inconvenience it caused. Upcoming public information sessions and remaining drop-in sessions will proceed as scheduled, and property owners from all wards are welcome to attend. Staff are planning to offer additional public information and drop-in sessions in the fall for property owners in flood-impacted wards.
Feedback about the Heritage Inventory Project from property owners in flood-impacted wards has been recorded and will be addressed in the fall report. Heritage Services staff continue to welcome feedback from property owners in these wards.
Property owners in wards 1, 5, 7 and 19 will be notified by mail about the removal from the June 11 report to the Built Heritage Sub-Committee, and subsequently notified when a new report date is scheduled. Councillors in these wards will also be notified.
