Ottawa East Community Association

Safer Roads Ottawa is helping to raise awareness and encourage cyclists to light themselves up while cycling in the early evening and at night. As part of this safety awareness campaign, Councillor Chernushenko and City of Ottawa staff will provide free lights to cyclists who do not have lights on their bicycles.
The Highway Traffic Act requires that all cyclists have a working front light and rear reflector. Over the past five years, the lack of proper lighting has been one of the most prevalent offences during Ottawa Police enforcement blitzes focused on cyclists.

Parks Canada will rehabilitate a 500m length of the canal wall between the Bank Street Bridge and Pig Island on the east side of the Rideau Canal starting November 7, 2016. The project is scheduled to be completed by May 2017 with remaining shoreline work to be completed by summer 2017.

After months of buildup, election day is nearly upon us! On November 8 at 7pm, please join us for the joint Annual General Meeting of both the Old Ottawa East Community Association (OOECA), and the Community Activities Group (CAG). Here are materials related to the meeting:

The OECA presented their objections to the rezoning of the property at 113-115 Echo Drive at the October 11, 2016, planning committee meeting at Ottawa City Hall. While the proposal was ultimately approved by the committee, the OECA felt it important to raise some concerns and the OECA's presentation is available for viewing here.

The OECA has submitted comments to City of Ottawa elected officials regarding the need for new central library in the downtown core and for a transparent process. The letter is available here.
