Effective April 26, 2017, the OPS will be introducing a single telephone number in which to contact us for all non-emergency enquiries. If you need to reach police by telephone for a non-emergency, you can call (613) 236-1222 to report any type of report from vehicle theft to harassment complaints. Also, instead of having to find the proper extension to reach a desired party, our new automated Integrated Voice Response (IVR) system will connect you to the right section or person.
All emergency or life-threatening calls will continue to be made utilizing 9-1-1.
In response to evolving technology, residents may instead choose to file a complaint online. Some of the reports you are now easily able to file online include: Thefts, Damage to Property, Traffic Complaints, Drug Complaints, Fraud Complaints, and Hate Crimes. Residents can also utilize our on-line service if they wish to add supplemental information to an existing report.
Le 26 avril 2017, le Service de police d'Ottawa inaugure un numéro de téléphone unique servant à nous contacter relativement à toutes les questions non-urgentes. Si vous devez rejoindre la police par téléphone pour une affaire non-urgente, vous pouvez composer le (613) 236-1222 pour effectuer divers types de signalements, des vols de véhicules aux plaintes pour harcèlement. De plus, au lieu de devoir chercher le bon poste pour joindre l'interlocuteur souhaité, notre nouveau système automatisé de reconnaissance vocale intégrée (RVI) saura vous acheminer à la section ou la personne pertinente.
Tous les appels concernant des urgences ou des vies en péril devront toujours être adressés au 9-1-1.
Grâce à l'évolution de la technologie, les résidents peuvent aussi opter pour une déclaration faite en ligne. Parmi les types de rapports que vous pouvez désormais déposer facilement en ligne, on compte: vols, dommages aux biens, plaintes liées à la circulation, à la drogue ou à la fraude, et crimes haineux. Les résidents peuvent également faire appel à notre service en ligne s'ils souhaitent ajouter des renseignements à un rapport existant.

Community Yard Sale Coming Up in May
It is starting to feel a bit more like spring. As you are
getting out to start work on your gardens and to undertake your spring cleaning
remember that the Queensway Terrace South Ridgeview Community Yard Sale is
coming up in the last weekend of May.
This is a great opportunity to clear out items that you
don’t use any more and could make another person happy. Some of our neighbours
raised money for their favour charitable causes. Last year members of our
community sold a range of items including:
·
Children’s toys
·
Furniture
·
Kitchen wear
·
Sports equipment
·
Books
·
Ornaments
·
Clothing
The community yard sale is a great opportunity to do some
good, meet your neighbours, and maybe even find a new treasured item for
yourself!

QTSR Community Garage Sale
The
Queensway Terrace South Ridgeview Community Garage Sale will be taking place on
Saturday, May 27th from 8am to noon.
Everyone in the community is welcome to set up their own garage sale in their yard on this day. We have also had some successful lemonade stands in the neighbourhood in previous years.
The QTSR
Community Association will be putting up some signs around our neighbour to
promote the event, but we could always use more signs to attract more people to
the community for the garage sale.
We welcome
members of our community to prepare garage sale signs to help promote the event
and we are going to be giving a prize to one lucky sign maker. To participate
in the sign contest, take a picture of your sign and upload it either to our QTSRCA Facebook
page or twitter using the tag #QTSRCAgaragesale
before noon on Saturday, May 27th.

City of Ottawa - Street sweeping operations now in effect
The City of Ottawa's winter overnight parking restrictions are now
completed for the 2016-2017 season. The City would like to thank you
for your cooperation in making our streets safer throughout the winter
season.
In addition to the city-wide sweeping operations, the City completes concentrated sweeping operations in neighbourhoods that support continuous on-street parking.
Concentrated street sweeping will commence Sunday, April 9 through to Friday, April 14, 2017; subject to weather conditions. This year, concentrated street sweeping t will take place during daytime operations only and will be performed in the following areas: Downtown Core, Vanier, New Edinburgh, Sandy Hill, Glebe, Centretown, West Centretown, By-Ward Market, Lowertown, Ottawa East, Ottawa South and sections of Overbrook.
Visit ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401) for more information about street cleaning schedules and operations.
On Sunday, April 9
City of Ottawa crews will begin the annual city-wide sweeping of
streets and sidewalks, including both daytime and night-time operations.
These operations are necessary to remove debris, dust and sand that
accumulated over the winter months.
In addition to the city-wide sweeping operations, the City completes concentrated sweeping operations in neighbourhoods that support continuous on-street parking.
During
concentrated street sweeping debris from boulevards, sidewalks and
medians is swept or flushed onto the roadway, where a vacuum truck then
picks up the majority of grit, debris, small particles and dust. This
operation may be repeated several times to ensure a clean surface. If
vehicles are parked on the street, the un-swept area is noted and crews
must then return to sweep that portion. Your patience and co-operation
to keep vehicles off the streets during this period is appreciated.

Ottawa Park Summit - Organized by Ecology Ottawa
Join us at our inaugural Ottawa Park Summit – an innovative event that will bring together people from across the City of Ottawa that are active in their local parks to generate ideas and build momentum for better parks in our great city.
Ecology Ottawa is partnering with Park People, an independent charity that builds strong communities by animating and improving parks. We believe that when communities get involved, parks get better. The Ottawa Park Summit will bring together people involved in a wide range of park-related work, including “adopt a park” groups, community associations, community gardeners, tree planters, and community-builders that work on public health and safety, recreation, economic development and other park-based activities.
The event will be held on Earth Day – Saturday, April 22 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. It will be followed by our first annual Earth Day Celebration starting at 5:00 p.m.
This unique event will foster connections between park stakeholders, generate ideas for ongoing cooperation, and build momentum to make our city parks even better! We will hear from city park staff, city councillors and community partners working to turn their public spaces into dynamic community places. This will include keynote speakers on critical issues affecting our city parks as well as breakout workshops on specific issues such as community gardens, park naturalization and tree planting, and investing in local parks.
