We are having our annual Summer Fun Day in Kingsmere Park starting around noon on Saturday, August 10, 2013.
There will be lots of fun games, events for kids, and (of course) the big tug-of-war! The wading pool will be open, there’s a BBQ, lots of fun!
Note that there will be a bike parade starting around 11:30 up at Glabar Park, and we’ll all make our way down to Kingsmere Park. Kids please dress up your bikes!
Thanks to all the authors, editor, sponsors and delivery folks – the spring Gazette is now available:

Community Associations & Partners…
As a result of significant work with City staff, I am pleased to report to you that we have secured Bay Ward’s place as a member area of the City Task Force group on Zoning Consistency.
Many of our neighbourhoods are faced with increasing inappropriate and unwanted infill and intensification.
While as a general rule many of us, myself included, support intensification, disagreements often fall to the form it takes and place in which it happens.
For this very reason the City has created a Zoning Consistency Team who’s mandate is to identify the character of particular areas, then draft legislation for Council approval that would enhance zoning protections to defend that character.
Commencing their work in several wards, ours included, they will be seeking input from Community Associations particularly on height, massing and rear/side setbacks of proposed developments as well as those already in place in the community.
A feedback form will be available starting today April 24, 2013 at www.ottawa.ca/infill. I would encourage members of your respective communities to participate by providing feedback by May 17, 2013.

From Councillor Taylor’s office:
The westbound lane on Carling Avenue between Woodroffe Avenue (at Carlingwood Shopping Centre) and Alpine Avenue will be intermittently closed to accommodate road rehabilitation work from Monday, May 13 until Friday, June 14. This resurfacing project requires milling and the repaving of the road. Different operations require segments of the lane to be closed. Sections will be closed for hours each day during this period. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when travelling through this area.
For more information on Ottawa On The Move, you can visit the City website or contact Councillor Taylor’s office.
