Lansdowne Public Consultation
Recently, the city announced changes to Aberdeen Square at Lansdowne Park. It has been re-named Lac-Leamy Plaza at Lansdowne. I’m not crazy about the name but that’s not the only change. The section of Princess Patricia Way and the Pavillion has been closed to cars, and in the future, we will see more seating, shade and a performance area.
But more changes are likely to be discussed at Lansdowne, and we want to make sure everyone has a say in the future of the park. On Monday October 28, there will be a public consultation on the future of Lansdowne. It will be held at the Glebe Community Centre at 7:00 pm.
This is all leading up to the November 5 meeting of the city’s Finance and Economic Development Committee (FEDCO), where Lansdowne will be discussed. Residents are invited to attend and speak to committee.
Lansdowne will be a defining feature of our ward and our city for more than a generation, so it’s important we get it right!

Springhurst Park—Open House
The City of Ottawa is proposing to replace the junior playground equipment in Springhurst Park in 2020 subject to receiving funding approval in the 2020 City Budget. Two options have been developed for the replacement of the junior playground equipment. Engineered wood fibre is proposed to be used as the protective surfacing material for the playground to meet accessibility requirements. A separate sand play area is also proposed.
Residents are invited to attend a public open house to view and provide feedback on the options.
Residents can complete an online survey regarding the playground equipment options and view the concept plans at https://engage.ottawa.ca.
