Container Gardening

March 22nd, 2009 No comments

The refurbished Roy Duncan Park will have a community garden, run by members of the community, where neighbours can meet and work together to care for the garden. In addition to helping with food security and nutrition, residents of Van Lang are interested in having container planting on their balcony. A workshop on successful container gardening is being planned and is open to everyone interested. And it’s FREE! The workshop will be held on:

Zoning Participation

March 11th, 2009 No comments

Westboro Beach is experiencing increased development which means the Executive is spending more time on zoning issues including applications to the City of Ottawa’s Committee of Adjustment and the Province’s Ontario Municipal Board.

In this section we will provide background documents on City development criteria and overviews of recent zoning decisions. It is a complex procedure but we are building a base of knowledge in our community on how to respond to development.

The Executive makes every effort to attend all Committee of Adjustment meetings for applications pertaining to Westboro Beach.  However should the WBCA be unable to attend a Committee of Adjustment meeting it in no way implies an endorsement of the application by the WBCA.

Should you wish to discuss a zoning issue please contact any member of the Executive.
