The Summer Fun Day is coming on August 10th.
This year we are planning:
GPCA directors and volunteers will be wearing green shirts with the GPCA logo.
Volunteers are needed, please contact glabarparkca@gmail.com to volunteer.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
a Company of Fools is set to return to Glabar Park on Tuesday July 9th. For more details, please see their website.
They have asked if anyone surrounding the park (i.e. someone that lives on Hare or Rozel) could open their home for actors to use between 4pm and 7pm on July 9th. If you can accommodate, please contact glabarparkca@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with them.
Councillor Kavanagh’s office contacted the General Manager of Recreation, Cultural & Facility Services on our behalf, and he reconfirmed that this wading pool would be open July 2nd. He added that they planned to paint the wading pool June 27th, and water will be activated and tested June 28. Barring any unforeseen issues, it should be ready for the planned opening of July 2.
Update – 2019-07-02 @ 2:40pm:
I was notified by a community member that the wading pool at Kingsmere park has not been filled with water, and, there are 3 lifeguards on duty. The lifeguards said the wading pool cannot be filled with water right now because they are waiting for a plumber to look at it.
I notified Councillor Theresa Kavanagh’s office and hope for a response today.
Update – 2019-07-02 @ 3:25pm:
I received a call from Councillor Theresa Kavanagh’s office. I was told that the plumber was called away and would not be available today. They will let me know what day/date the wading pool will open.
In lieu of today, they will open it on Monday, July 8th (when it is normally closed).
FYI – The City of Ottawa posts information about city wading pools here: https://ottawa.ca/en/residents/recreation-and-parks/swimming#wading-pools-summer-only
Update – 2019-07-03 @ 9:55am:
I received a call from Councillor Theresa Kavanagh’s office. I was told that the pool would open today per the daily schedule after missing the original planned opening date yesterday.
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!
