Shawn Menard

Thank you to the hard working people in bylaw service in the city of #Ottawa. You are greatly appreciated.

The new Heron Park Community Building is taking shape. I’m so proud of the work the community, my office, the construction team and city staff have done to make this a reality.

Today is the Panda Game in Capital Ward at Lansdowne Park! Game time is 12pm. Let’s go @carleton.ca ! Have fun, stay safe and enjoy the game.

Was a perfect day for the Fall Fest in Old Ottawa South. Congratulations to the Firehall team! Bouncy castles, band, poutine/popcorn/cotton candy, face painting, book readings, hay wagon ride, more! @marksutcliffe.bsky.social stopped by and I won’t tell you how this shot went!

Paulette was a force, and a kind soul. I will miss her and the great advice she would give me. ottawacitizen.remembering.ca/obituary/pau...

Nice to see these portable fire hydrant water fountains in the city. This is at Fifth and QED.

After significant tree loss because of concerns from Hydro One on overhead lines, 25 new (low height) trees are being planted on Centennial blvd in Old Ottawa East. Thanks to residents and city staff for your feedback to Hydro One.

Pete can you send these pictures and info to me directly over email and I will ensure follow up. We got that Main Street issue cleared up as I understand it thanks to your help.

#ottawa, these brothers live here and have experienced the sudden, shocking loss of both parents. They NEED to keep their accessible home. We can and must help them.

The Rideau River Pedestrian Bridge will open this winter.

Happy Labour Day!

My goodness you can be difficult to engage with. So accusatory. The answer to your question is yes, including in this exercise on Main Street closer to the 417 where context made sense. Have a good day Mike.

There is a lot more height and density that has been added in the area, yet you are cherry picking one area (where the context is completely different), and your conclusion is that there is an objection to more homes everywhere when the opposite is true.

I would recommend reviewing the entirety of the changes made to the secondary plan along Main Street and in other areas of the community. The section you have highlighted is one area and has a different context then the other areas receiving more change.

Here is the latest #Ottnews on pool, beach and splash pad timelines. I’m proud to have improved this somewhat along with our staff but a modest amount of funding means a lot more quality of life for people across the city.

Parents want to see wading pools open longer as season winds down As of Sunday, wading pools will be no more as the City of Ottawa gets ready to close them for the season.

Every budget cycle at city hall I raise the issue of pool /splash pad /beach availability, trying to scrounge up a small amount of funding I can find to extend these times. There are complications with life guard availability but other cities have done this. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Should be actioned

At the very least a multi use pedestrian/bike path through that stretch could make sense. Construction detours continue to be a challenge all over the city.

Hi Pete, I’ll send these photos in to staff now. Sorry to see it hasn’t been solved yet. Signs shouldn’t be placed this way blocking a highly used bike lane.

Just the northern portion in Capital Ward

Congratulations to @shawnmenard.bsky.social, the people of Capital Ward, and all of the regular people who have been lobbying the City of Ottawa for years for finally getting the Alta Vista Transportation Corridor removed from the Transportation Master Plan and saving People’s Park.

In less than 24 hours, two cyclists have been seriously hurt in Ottawa's suburbs. Residents in Orleans, Kanata, Barrhaven and Stittsville don't want to feel like they have no alternative but to drive everywhere, but they need comfortable, safe ways to walk and bike to local destinations.

The designated parks will include sections that are off-limits for alcohol use. The off-limit areas include at least five-metre distances from:
•Playgrounds
•Wading pools and splash pads

•Rinks
•Playing fields and ball diamonds
• Basketball, tennis etc

Alcohol in Parks Pilot in #Ottawa to being with the parks designated here:

Lansdowne Great Lawn, Brewer, Minto, McNabb, Queenswood Ridge, Riverain, Strathcona.

I’m asking for Brewer Park and Lansdowne Park in my ward to start

She was excellent

It’s outdoor swimming season! Here’s when Capital Ward Wading pools will open this summer!

I also attended a great forum at carleton where students had fantastic ideas about alternatives including a not for profit board operation. There has been discussion on this.

My motion at council failed 12-11 to have the city develop an alternative back up plan to do exactly this. We would also need more info on the existing signed agreement (which is being ripped up), whether OSEG has threatened to leave or not.
