TOWN HALL MEETING JUNE 19, 7-9 PM - At my last meeting before the summer
months there will be a number of presentations including Mintos Arcadia
subdivision, City staff on proposed land uses on City owned lands adjacent to the
Town Centre Park and the apartment complex on Maritime Way adjacent to Village
Green. Come to the Kanata Senior Centre in the Mlacak Centre to find out what is
happening and provide your input or view a live-streaming on my Facebook page in
the comfort of your home.

MOSQUITOES, NOXIOUS WEEDS and TICKS are in our community. Do enjoy


the outdoors but become familiar with plants such as poison parsnip and poison ivy
and avoid touching them as they can create skin problems. If you see these on
public lands please notify 3-1-1 of the location. Ticks are more serious and may test
positive for Lyme disease. Check yourself and your pets for ticks after going into
woodlands or tall grass. Information on removing and reporting them is on the City
website. The nuisance mosquito program is underway with a second treatment now
underway due to the heavy rains. Since not all landowners permit treatment on
their lands you will still have a few mosquitoes. Last year, as measured through
test traps within and outside of the treated area, there were 92% fewer mosquitoes
in Kanata North.

THE OTTAWA POLICE SERVICES SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT


PROGRAM is focusing this month on PEDESTRIAN SAFETY and
CONSTRUCTION ZONES. Be sure to watch out for people walking or biking
and try to avoid construction areas where possible. Be particularly careful at
the new pedestrian crossings, such as at the roundabouts and on the
Parkway where cars must stop for pedestrians.
DID YOU KNOW ! You can now apply for your police check online. In most
cases you do not have to go to the police station to apply. Please visit the
Ottawa Police website at www.ottawapolice.ca for more information.
GRAFFITI I am receiving complaints about nasty graffiti being sprayed on
homes, cars and public property within our Ward. As a homeowner you are
responsible for graffiti removal on your property. Graffiti on public property
can be reported at www.ottawa.ca or by calling 311. Graffiti is vandalism
and should be reported to the police. If you observe it happening try to get a
description or photo of the vandal and report it to the police immediately.
