Kanata Expo 55+ I would like to thank everyone who joined me at Kanata Expo 55+,

the exhibitors, special guests and participants. Thanks also to our sponsors - The
Courtyards at Eagleson, Punjabi Seniors, and Tim Hortons for refreshments, Chartwell for
take away bags and the providers of more than 20 door prizes for this successful event.

PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY - Public Meeting with Ottawa Police, October 2 nd, 7
pm at the Mlacak Centre - Kanata North is an area with a low crime rate and safe friendly
communities. Hence, I was deeply concerned by recent incidents involving a drive-by
shooting and home invasion. It is important to discuss this openly in the community and be
proactive in finding resolutions. At this meeting representatives from Ottawa Police and the
Chair of the Police Board will let us know how we can participate and support the police in
enhancing community safety. Join me to have your questions answered and find out what
you can do to keep our communities safe!

REMINDER BUDGET CONSULTATION MEETING, OCTOBER 5, KANATA RECREATION

CENTRE, HALL A 6:30 pm TO 9:30 pm - Do you want to have a say in how your tax
dollars are being spent? Join the west end Councillors along with city staff to discuss the
upcoming city budget and consider what needs to be included to ensure that taxpayers get
value for their property taxes.

UNVEILING OF THE RICHARDSON HERITAGE PARK - I was very pleased to participate,

with four generations of the Richardson family, at the unveiling of a plaque at the Richardson
Heritage Park, which is located on land formerly part of the Richardson Family farm.
Celebrating the rich history of March Township, later the City of Kanata, provides an important
link to those pioneers who settled here. It was also a pleasure to support the heritage
designation of the original stone farmhouse and to see it being used within the subdivision.

LRT PUBLIC CONSULTATION I have been briefed on the progress on the Environmental
Assessment for LRT from Moodie to the Canadian Tire Place. Work is progressing and at this
time the preferred route will approximate the previously approved Bus Rapid Transit route
along the 417 and then across to Canadian Tire Place. Further investigation is needed on
connections to bus routes and possibly extending LRT even further. A public open house will
be held around the end of November. Ill provide the date and place as soon as it is available
and urge you to attend to provide your views on the route, possible staging and approximate
costing that will be available at that time.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES - Trees have been removed and rock excavation started at
the construction site for two new apartment buildings on Maritime Way. Blasting
information is available on my website under the development menu titled Blasting. With
much of Kanata North being located on an outlier of the Canadian Shield, one of the hardest
rock in the world, blasting is often required. This is done during daylight hours under strict
provincial regulations.

ALL THAT GLAM FUNDRAISER - Do you have any gently used jewelry or handbags to
donate to help fund breakfast programs in Nunavut? Please drop them off at my ward office
in the Mlacak Centre, Wednesday and Fridays from 9am to 3pm.
