The Great Lynwood Ice Master & Rink Attendants Search Begins!

2020 may be remembered for all the wrong reasons, but getting outdoors can shake off the Covid-19 Blues!  We're digging out the shovels, the snowblower we purchased last winter, and the Ottawa Recreation, Cultural and Facility Services Department has put up the boards.

To  make the rink happen, we're looking for an Ice Master (or two) and Rink Attendants (six or more). 

We receive funding for this project from the City so we want to offer an honorarium for all positions to thank you for committing to this project.

Letter From Consultant re:Ottawa Ward Boundary Review 2020 – Final Report

Spoiler Alert: The report doesn't recommend significant changes with regards to College Ward boundaries.

Good afternoon, As you may be aware, I am one of the consultants for the Ottawa Ward Boundary Review 2020, which has been tasked with establishing new ward boundaries for the City of Ottawa to use in the next three or four municipal elections. You are receiving this email because you signed up for project updates or are identified as a key stakeholder.

This email includes updates and information regarding:

• The Round 2 public consultation results; and
• The release of the Ottawa Ward Boundary Review 2020 – Recommended Ward Boundaries – Final Report, which recommends a realigned ward boundary system for the City of Ottawa

Round 2 Public Consultation

Round 2 public consultation ran from August 19, 2020 to September 25, 2020. During this phase, we engaged with residents and stakeholders and collected feedback on the six options outlined in the Options Report and the Supplementary Report. All Members of Council, including the new Ward 19 – Cumberland Councillor, were consulted. We also held additional meetings with some Members, particularly those in more impacted wards. As gathering restrictions continued due to the COVID-19 pandemic, public consultation meetings were conducted virtually through Zoom. Six public meetings and three stakeholder meetings were held, which included representatives from community associations, business improvement areas, school boards and advocacy groups. Residents and stakeholders were also encouraged to complete a survey available through ottawa.ca or, for those with limited or no access to a computer, by requesting a paper copy. In total, 2,150 surveys, 238 submissions and comments by email and telephone, and 16 Guest Book entries were submitted during Round 2, and 137 individuals and stakeholder groups participated in the public and stakeholder meetings. More details on the Round 2 public consultation process can be found in the Recommended Ward Boundaries - Final Report, which is described below in more detail.
