Parks, Recreation and Environment Committee

The purpose of the Parks, Recreation and Environment Committee is to foster greater care and awareness of the community by the residents and businesses by:

· encouraging the maintenance and improvement of the physical condition of our parks, boulevards;
· green areas, sidewalks, streets and industrial areas within the community;
· working with the City of Ottawa, through our Councillor and Parks Department, to develop programs to assist in maintenance of the community environment;
· creating initiatives (Spring and Fall park clean up and parks improvement programs, e.g. play structures and landscaping), carried out by residents and businesses;
· developing a sense of ownership of parks and green space areas by those within the community;
· involving businesses within the community to assist in improving the environment;
– running ther community skating rinks at Balena and Dale parks;
· organizing community social activities (e.g. Annual Skating Party and biannual Fall Social);
· reacting to environmental issues as they arise (e.g. graffiti, crows, litter).
