Follow up on Market and Tunnel study funding: In a meeting with LCA representatives March 1st, the Mayor committed to approaching the Province about funding for the Market Revitalization Project.
The Mayor has since sent a letter to Ottawa Vanier MPP, Natalie Des Rosiers, asking for her support in obtaining 1/3 funding from the Province to go towards the $10M Market Revitalization Project and I have attached that letter to this email for you. Additionally, the Mayor has sent a letter to the Minister of Transportation, Steven Del Duca, asking for the province to commit matching funding ($2.5M) to undertake the Environmental Assessment for the downtown Ottawa Truck Tunnel and the letter is attached. It's September and that means the return of the LCA's monthly meetings! The next meeting will be held Monday September 11th, 7pm at the Routhier Community centre, 172 Guigues ave. To be discussed will be various volunteer opportunities on LCA Committees, the Overdose prevention site and an update from our councillor.

Overdose Prevention site - LCA Survey
The pop-up Overdose Prevention Site located at St. Patrick and Cumberland has been operating every day since August 25th 2017. Many in the community have expressed concerns about the site and many have been supportive of it. The LCA would like to know what you think of the Pop-up Overdose Prevention site. Please fill out this short survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WZWM5BX Site de prévention de surdose - sondage Le site temporaire de prévention de surdose situé sur les coins de rues St.Patrick et Cumberland opère tous les jours depuis le 25 août, 2017. Plusieurs résidents dans la communauté ont exprimé leur désarroi face à ce site alors que plusieurs autres ont exprimé leur support. L'Association veut savoir ce que vous en pensez. SVP prenez le temps de remplir ce court sondage ici. Lien au sondage: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WZWM5BX The Lowertown Community Resource Centre (LCRC) has always developed their programs and services to the residents based on priority issues they brought up. Information on issues has been collected by various means directly or indirectly on a yearly basis.
Focus groups; residents meetings; surveys (to community members, door-to-door, to service beneficiaries); or by one on one meetings, are some of the ways information is collected on community needs and priorities. This time around, the LCRC is undertaking again a need assessment through this survey, and also an opportunity to collect data on diversity of the Lowertown community. Thank you for participating in this short 3-5 minute survey and we look forward to share the results with whoever resident interested. Thanks again. Survey link / lien au sondage: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5N8VRB6 Dans le souci de mieux desservir les résidents de la Basse-Ville, le Centre de ressources communautaires de la Basse-Ville (CRCBV) développe ses services en se basant sur les besoins prioritaires de la communauté. Ainsi, les membres de la communauté sont consultés de plusieurs manières afin d’avoir leurs avis à ce sujet. Les moyens les plus utilisés sont : les groupes de discussion; les rencontres des résidents; les sondages (auprès des membres de la communauté et/ou des bénéficiaires des services),ainsi que les rencontres un à un. Cette année, le CRCBV consulte encore en récoltant les avis des résidents sur les besoins prioritaires dans la communauté, la connaissance du Centre, ainsi que la collecte de l’information démographique sur la diversité dans la Basse-Ville. C’est pour cette raison qu’il lance ce court sondage de 3-5 minutes auquel on vous demanderait de participer massivement, tout en vous remerciant d’avance pour le temps consacré à le compléter. Merci. The Lowertown Community Association would like to thank all of our sponsors, partners and volunteers for your support of our Macdonald Gardens Park heritage designation celebration.
