le francais suit.

The Canada Climate Action consultations in Ottawa are coming to Ottawa Vanier on July 11. Councillors Fleury, Nussbaum and Tierney (TBC) will be on hand to meet and hear our thoughts on taking action on climate change. Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna has invited all Canadians to share ideas to shape Canada's approach to action on climate change.

The Town Hall will be held 6 pm - 7:30 pm. We invite you and hope you can attend and have your say! Much like the many consultations held across Ottawa in recent weeks with MPs McKenna, McGuinty, Vandenbeld, McCrimmon, and Arya this is an historic opportunity for people to tell their elected representatives that climate change must be taken seriously. After the Town Hall, we will submit our climate solutions to the Minister.

The Ottawa Vanier Climate Change Town Hall is coordinated by Ecology Ottawa and co-hosted by Lowertown Community Association, Action Sandy Hill, Vanier Community Association, New Edinburgh Community Alliance and Local Eco-Action Families (LEAF). 

Please invite your friends and share in your networks.
We hope to see you July 11th!

What does it mean when we talk about a "heritage house". We know it means "old-fashioned", but how can we SEE that ? 

Would you like to know a fair bit about heritage houses after just one walk around the block ? Join us on June 4th at Bingham park for our Kids' Heritage Walk and we will bring your attention to: the shapes of the house, the detailing, and the materials used. We will also chat about some reasons why houses have changed, and will see how some modern homes are bringing some of heritage looks back! 

This fun and interactive walk for children and adults, will take place at 10 am and 4 pm, we will start at Bingham Park, go down Cathcart street, left at Cathcart Square, down Bolton street and back to start.
