COMMUNITY POLICING MEETING I would like to thank everyone who came out to our

public meeting with regards to policing in our community. Residents were told how we can
help keep Kanata North an area of low crime and a safe, friendly community. As discussed
at the meeting, each one of us play an important role in keeping the community safe. I
would like to thank representatives from Ottawa Police and the Chair of the Police Board,
Councillor El-Chantiry along with Crime Stoppers, Neighbourhood Watch and Crime
Prevention Ottawa for participating. They provided useful information that we can all use.
If you missed the meeting you can view it at any time on my website.

CLEANING THE CAPITAL We are in our final weeks of Cleaning up the Capital and I am
happy to say as of the last report, Kanata North is one of the leaders in the City. Dont forget
to take the time to register your project on line to be eligible for some great prizes.
Registration ends October 15. You must submit your Clean Up Reports no later than October
31. I know you spend the time to clean the area you select but some forget to register the
results. Please visit the citys website to register www.ottawa.ca to show how much you do
for the community.

FUNDRAISING LAUNCH FOR THE QUEENSWAY CARLETON HOSPITAL Last week, with
9 other City Councillors, I was pleased to participate in the launch of the Ambassadors Raising
Hope Campaign for the Queensway Carleton Hospital. We have committed to raise funds for
a much needed Mental Health facility at the hospital. Watch for my fundraising events to
support this cause, in my newsletter and columns. Plan to attend for a good time and to
benefit a good cause. Or donate directly to the Queensway Carleton Foundation and please
note that it is for the Kanata North Campaign.

GIVE AWAY WEEKEND Do you have items you no longer want? Oct 21-22 is Give Away
weekend so dont put them in the garbage, put them at the curb on Giveaway Weekend,
clearly marked free and give them a new home.

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 or at one of my meetings.

SERVING THE COMMUNITY Last week, I was pleased to attend the opening of the
Heins House Wing at the Hospice Care facility in Kanata; I took part in the Kanata
Hazeldean Lions Club plaque dedication to four of their deceased members; I also
participated in the 20th Anniversary of Cloakware, a world leading cybersecurity firm and
presented a certificate to Gurbachan Bedi at his wonderful 100th Birthday. It is my great
pleasure to meet and support so many wonderful activities in the community.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from myself and my staff. Please take some time this weekend to
reflect on what a wonderful Country and Community we live in.
