I am delighted to hear that the Church has decided not to pursue the Roger's Cell tower further. The Church's willingness to advise and hear from the community, as well as its consideration in what was probably a bit of a difficult decision offers a model of good will and neighbourliness; attributes which are often lacking when money is offered in tight fiscal times.
We appreciate all you have done. Hopefully the Church's great approach to this will inspire some community members to join and contribute to your flock.
False house calls prompt warning from City December 7, 2011
The City of Ottawa has today received reports of unknown salespeople approaching the homes of residents and identifying themselves as City employees. They claim the city requires access to the home to perform water quality tests. The City does not currently have staff or anyone representing the City going door-to-door making such calls or checking for material build-up on water meters.
Any visits by City staff that may require access to homes or businesses are scheduled in advance unless an emergency situation exists. Residents are also provided with advance notice of projects that might impact them.
Residents are reminded that all employees requesting access must show City-issued photo identification. Residents who are directly contacted by persons claiming to be City employees for City business are asked to check identification, and, if concerns remain, contact 3-1-1 before allowing access. Residents are also asked to report any suspicious phone calls or visits to police. n
