There will be a concert to raise funds for the APPLE (A Post-Psychiatric Leisure Experience) Drop-In Centre that provides support and recreation for people dealing with mental health issues.
Entitled In the Tradition of Service, the theme is one of Veterans serving the community the way they served Canada when they wore the uniform of the Canadian Armed Forces. We have three performers who are, themselves, Veterans of service in the Canadian Armed Forces: – Eric Payne, who served in the Navy, is rapidly gaining popularity as a stand-up comedian. Eric will share his energetic brand of humour with the audience as our Master of Ceremonies. – Mike Griffin, who served in the airforce and army signals, will be performing covers and original works with his band Sterling, a very popular rock and roll band from the Ottawa area. – Tim Isberg, ex-army officer and veteran of operations in Rwanda, will perform his storied and soulful brand of contemporary folk music.
All proceeds will be donated to the APPLE Drop-In Centre.
Tickets $20 at VeteransShowcase.Eventbrite.com while they last!

Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan
2017-03-22 18:30 - 20:30 | Alexander Community Centre, 960 Silver Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Project Information

A community is made up of lots of things – people, streets, buildings, parks, businesses and so much more. There’s always room to make communities better over time, with careful planning and participation from people who live there.
You are invited to participate in two studies happening in your community in 2017. The outcomes of both will affect how Merivale Road looks and functions in the future.

The Community Design Plan will review the current zoning of land, consider a range of economic development incentives and create a complete street design to improve walking, cycling and streetscape.
The Transit Priority Measures study will review ways to improve bus transit services.

The CDP study area map focuses on the street and properties that front Merivale Road, as well as some properties that are on adjacent side streets.
