KANATA
CLIENT SERVICE CENTRE TO OFFER MORE PROVINCIAL
GOVERNMENT SERVICES
In May, work will begin on renovation work
at 580 Terry Fox to allow more provincial government
services to be offered at the same location
as the City of Ottawa’s Client Service
Centre. The services offered by the new Government
Service Centre will include submitting an application
for a birth certificate, purchasing a hunting
or fishing licence, registering a business and
much more.
Health card registration and renewal services
will be available one or two days a week. It
will still be by appointment only, while demand
is assessed.
The Government Service Centre in Kanata follows
the success of the first joint municipal, provincial
and federal service centre that opened at Ottawa
City Hall in September 2005. The goal is a one-stop
approach to accessing government information
and services. For residents, it is easier to
get the information they need at one location.
Sharing space also means the provincial government
is helping pay the cost.
To accommodate the addition of provincial government
services, my office will be moved across the
parking lot to 600 Terry Fox Drive. The move
will take place on May 14. The Government Service
Centre is expected to open in late June.
The existing Client Service Centre will be
unaffected and continue to operate as usual
during construction.
OVER 1,200 KANATA SOUTH RESIDENTS VOLUNTEER
FOR SPRING CLEANING THE CAPITAL!
As of last week, over 1,200 Kanata South residents
had volunteered to help with Spring Cleaning
the Capital. This is the annual clean-up campaign
where community groups, neighbours, schools,
families and individuals pitch in to make sure
our community looks its best. Last year, volunteers
across the City picked up over 90,000 kilograms
of garbage.
What is encouraging is the number of schools
participating. On May 10 for example, students
from A. Y. Jackson will be going out in groups
of 25, each assigned a specific area. Large
groups are also expected from other schools
in Kanata South.
It is still possible to register to participate
in Spring Cleaning the Capital. To register
or get more information, you can go to
http://www.ottawa.ca/
There is an online form to help you register.
You can also e-mail SpringCleaning@ottawa.ca
or call 411.
PUBLIC MEETING ON NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALONG STONEHAVEN
On Tuesday, May 15 at 7:30 p.m., there will
be a public meeting to discuss two new developments
along Stonehaven. The meeting will be part of
the Bridlewood Community Association meeting
and will be held in the gymnasium of St. Anne
Catholic Elementary School at 500 Stonehaven
Drive.
Urbandale are proposing to build a mixture
of stacked townhouses and freehold houses at
74 Stonehaven and 223 detached homes at 310
Stonehaven. 74 Stonehaven is opposite Deevy
Pines Park and 310 Stonehaven is between École
élémentaire Élizabeth Bruyere
and St. Anne Catholic Elementary School.
With traffic on Stonehaven, people are understandably
concerned about the impact of new development.
This is your chance to have your say.
LOOKING OUT FOR OTHERS ALIVE AND WELL IN KANATA
I would like to express my appreciation for
the efforts of Mike Webb and Cst. Ian Matyas
and Cst. Harinderpal Mamak with the Ottawa Police
Service in coming to the aid of a community
member in medical distress. The compassion and
concern they showed is a reminder that looking
out for others is important in Kanata.
