TOWN HALL MEETING, JUNE 17th, Minto Room, Richcraft Recreation

Complex Kanata (RRCK), 7 9 pm

With summer coming, this will be the last Town Hall Meeting for two months. Due to the
municipal election, Councillors cannot hold public meetings in September or October. Therefore,
a Town Hall Meeting will take place on August 20th in the meeting room of what will be the newly
opened West District Library.
The June 17th meeting will cover ongoing issues such as: Traffic, including speeding, failure to
stop at stop signs, cycling issues & congestion; status report on construction in the area
(repaving, Highway 417, housing construction, new business buildings); upcoming meetings on
the park for Richardson Ridge; the Carp Landfill; status reports on school construction; he
expansion lands; McDonalds and the Outlet Mall.
I hope to have information on the arboretum being developed, the closure of the Goulbourn Pool
and its implications for the RRCK, Canada Post Box locations, BIA activities and the police
report for Kanata North. Discussion on issues raised by the public and coming events such as
Canada Day, the Kanata North Picnic and Kanata Race Day are welcome. Come and learn
more about the great community which you call home.

Richardson Ridge Park

A new park will be constructed in this community in 2015. A meeting is being held on June 24th
in the Cardel Sales Office, 288 Huntsville Drive, for residents to provide suggestions for the park
plan and to find out more about planned services in their area.

Repaving 2014
The City will be repaving several roads and pathways this year. A tender has just been let for
repaving the Goulbourn Forced Road from the Rockeries to the RRCK, as well as for Terry Fox
(spot repairs) from the 417 to Didsbury, Carling Ave under the railway overpass and the
unpaved section of the path from Broughton Street to the Goulbourn Forced Road. More
pathways are being checked and others may be resurfaced later.

Hydro Outage on June 4

Most hydro outages are due to weather or failing infrastructure. The ones on June 4th that
impacted residents from Hazeldean Road to Dunrobin were a different matter. Ive been
informed that the first outage was caused by a raccoon at a Hydro One station and the second,
to clean up the debris it left on the equipment.

Community Garden
The new community garden in the Hydro easement off Klondike now has 25 raised beds, all of
which have been taken, and there is a waiting list for more. The organizers are being
recognized with a Garden Day Certificate of Recognition at Ottawas first official Garden Day.
Congratulations to all of the residents who have worked hard to make this garden a reality and
to contribute to having fresh produce for themselves and for the Kanata Food Cupboard. For
