KANATA RACE DAY REGISTER NOW Hosted by me, this is a race for the whole

family, from toddlers to seniors, that is organized by a wonderful group of

volunteers who raise funds for the Richcraft Recreation Complex-Kanata (RRCK). By
participating, you can support new activities at the RRCK and enjoy some exercise
in beautiful, natural surroundings. Take part in the 10k, 5k or 1k and watch toddlers
beam as they dash in the Tot Trot. Sponsored by the Richcraft Group of Companies,
the proceeds this year are for our Junior Ranger program, which supports activities
at the RRCK and protects Trillium Woods by removing invasive species. To register
for this fun event and support your local community complex visit

TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CALMING (TTC) UPDATE After meeting with Area Traffic
Management specialists and reviewing suggestions from the community a first
round of TTC treatments will be implemented this summer. These include flex signs
in the centre of the road, more locations that show what speed youre travelling at
and painted speed limits on the roadways. Youll see these on Huntsville, Keyrock,
Goward, Halton Terrace, Shirleys Brook, Maritime Way, Morgans Grant Way,
Laxford, Maxwell Bridge, Goulbourn Forced Road and Campeau. Additional locations
for TTC will be added after evaluating the effectiveness at the locations mentioned
above.
SLOW DOWN FOR US signs are available for pick up from my ward office (2500
Campeau Drive). Speeding is an issue especially when young kids are playing
outside during the warmer weather. To help prevent speeding on your street, pick
up signs to put on your front lawn and invite your neighbours to do the same. The
signs have a greater impact when a number of homes in a row display them.
LEBRETON FLATS & THE FUTURE OF THE OTTAWA SENATORS What will
happen to the Canadian Tire Centre? The Senators have indicated that they will
unveil plans later this year, and then the public can participate in creating a vision,
to be implemented after their move to LeBreton Flats (at least 5 years away).
KNL LANDS UPDATE The plan for the public school property at 425 Terry Fox
Drive has now been registered so that the lands can be transferred to the School
Board. The school will open in September.
WARNING ABOUT PHONEY WATER SALES PITCHES Fake sales pitches are
occurring in Kanata North by phone and door-to-door saying that City water is
inferior and you need a water treatment system. Drinking water in Ottawa is rated
100%, the highest in all federal and provincial standards one of the best in the
world. Save your money and use excellent quality water right from your tap!
