About Us

The Queensway Terrace South Ridgeview Community Association (QTSRCA) was formed in 2013 to serve as a voice for our neighbourhood in issues affecting the City of Ottawa and to foster community spirit. QTSR is a mature Ottawa neighbourhood, bounded by Highway 417 to the north, Baseline Road to the south, Cobden Road to the east, and Greenbank Road to the west. Our neighbourhood contains two city parks, Kilreen and Ridgeview, and a wide array of local businesses, many of whom have proudly and generously supported our association's work.

The current QTSRCA Constitution, as well as approved agendas and minutes for all past meetings, can be viewed by clicking on this link: QTSRCA Documents

Our volunteer board for the current year (2019-2020) is as follows:

Mitsuru Kachi, President
Melissa Fraser-Arnott, Vice President
Kelly Morris, Treasurer
Directors At Large:
Barbara Adair
Barbara Lajeunesse
Alison Lynch

INTENSIFICATION
This committee is monitoring city planning and policy as it pertains to zoning, infill, and other challenges facing older neighbourhoods as Ottawa grows and becomes increasingly urbanized.
