I will aim to schedule at least 7 locations for a minimum of 70 hours. No matter where you live in the ward, everyone can attend any of the sessions.
Stay tuned to see where the Ward 21 team will be by following my Facebook page here, including (in no particular order):

Ward Updates
Treatment to Prevent West Nile Virus
Do you have a catch basin on your property? If so, it can be treated for mosquitos that may carry West Nile virus.
West Nile virus (WNV) is an infection spread by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes need water to breed. Help eliminate mosquitoes around your property by reducing or eliminating areas or objects that can accumulate or retain water.
Visit OttawaPublicHealth.ca/WestNileVirus/ for more details.
Ditch and Culvert Maintenance
Ditch maintenance is a shared responsibility between property owners and the City. Depending on the location of the ditch, these responsibilities vary.

David Arntfield Recreation Area is now officially open at Centennial Park in Manotick featuring a new skateboard park and pump track.
Thank you to the Manotick Culture, Parks, and Recreation Association for their work on this initiative.
