A Message from Councillor King

Dear Residents:

Thanks to everyone who attended our Ward consultation last week concerning the proposed comprehensive zoning bylaw review. The turnout was strong, and the discussion was productive. Residents shared their views and community associations brought forward practical recommendations. The participation shows how much people care about the future of our neighbourhoods.

The conversations highlighted an important point: zoning affects daily life in ways you might not think about. Zoning rules determine how tall new buildings can be, what businesses can operate near your home, and where schools get built. These bylaws shape how our neighbourhoods look and function.

Ottawa continues to review its comprehensive zoning bylaw. The proposed zoning bylaw is a land-use regulation tool that shapes the way the city will grow. It sets rules about what can be built without having to seek specific permission from the City. 

This is a chance to update rules that haven't changed significantly in decades. During that time, Ottawa has grown, our planning approaches were updated through a New Official Plan, and our priorities around housing, climate, and accessibility have evolved. We need zoning that works for today's Ottawa, not yesterday's.

But this review will only work if residents stay involved. You can visualize how neighbourhoods could change under the new zoning framework by launching this exceptional, award-winning tool designed by local students. You can also use interactive maps provided by the City to learn about zoning changes that might affect your neighbourhood.

The City’s current zoning rules often don't match what residents actually want or need. Some areas lack housing options. Others have traffic problems that zoning could help address. Some neighbourhoods would benefit from more local businesses, while others need better protection from incompatible development.

Your input helps both Council and City staff understand these local differences and craft rules that work for real situations, not just planning theory. Comments on the latest proposed draft of the Zoning By-law can be made using the public comment form or by contacting City staff by email at [email protected]. Residents are invited to submit their feedback to my office before June 23 by filling out the following form: forms.office.com/r/m45RB2rXTr. Submitted comments will be reviewed by my office and will inform any requested changes I share with staff for consideration for the final Zoning By-law presented to Council. Formal comments are also encouraged to be sent to City staff at [email protected] by June 30.

This zoning review is our opportunity to build a better city. But that only happens if people stay engaged, ask questions, and hold us accountable. The formal consultation process is continuing and I encourage you to take advantage of the feedback opportunities over the coming months. I encourage you to submit written comments, and attend Council meetings when decisions are made. You can also contact my office anytime with thoughts or concerns.

Community associations have an important role here. You represent local knowledge and can help ensure neighbourhood context shapes City policy. The preparation and input from community representatives at last week's consultation were valuable, and I know that will continue.

I know zoning can seem technical and boring. But these rules can determine whether your neighbourhood becomes more affordable or more expensive, more walkable or more car-dependent, more diverse or more exclusive. That makes this everyone's business.

We have a real chance to improve how our city grows. The question is whether enough people will take the time to make their voices heard. Thanks again for your participation last week. Let's keep the momentum going.

Rawlson King,
City Councillor

Your Councillor in the Community

It was an honour last night to address the annual general meeting of the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre concerning their amazing contributions to our Ward.

 

Had a very productive first meeting with staff and community groups, including the Vanier BIA, this week to discuss improvements to Beechwood Avenue for the Beechwood Avenue Public Realm plan. 

 

The Public Works Big Wheel Expo was back at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium last weekend for a third impressive year! It gave many kids an exciting chance to get a closer look at the City’s truck and equipment fleet.

It was great to drop into the “Showcase Your Origins” fundraiser, organized by local co-op art students, in support of Cornerstone Housing for Women at St. Pius X High School last weekend.

Always fun to grab some lemonade and ring the bells at the Church of St. Bartholomew in New Edinburgh during Doors Open Ottawa weekend!

Amazing turnout at New Edinburgh Park for the opening of the Ottawa Street Market season!

Fun to drop by 1805 Gaspé Avenue during Open Doors Ottawa last weekend where the Manor Park Community Council was hosting a pickleball demonstration.

It was fun to drop into the Stittsville Multicultural Festival last weekend to sample the food and sights and say hello to Councillor Glen Gower!

Sewer Lining Program – Vaughan Street - Road closure required between Bertrand and Putman - Now underway

The City will begin preparation work for sewer rehabilitation. The City will be using a trenchless technology called Cured In Place Pipe to minimize the impact of construction.

What: The preparation work will involve cleaning and inspection of the sewer. The Contractor will return at a later date to perform sewer rehabilitation using a Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lining process. CIPP rehabilitation minimizes the impact of construction by repairing the existing sewer without having to dig. The CIPP method of construction is less disruptive and can be completed quicker than traditional construction techniques.
Why: Rehabilitation is required due to the age and condition of the existing infrastructure.
When: Sewer cleaning and inspection work in preparation for rehabilitation was expected to begin on June 12, 2025. The preparation work will take place over several months but will only require a few days on each street. Please note this work is weather dependent. A subsequent notification letter will be distributed to impacted residents in advance of the start of sewer liner installation to provide further details.
Where: The sewer being rehabilitated is located on Vaughan Street between Putman Avenue and Bertrand Street.

City of Ottawa News, Events, Meetings and Engagement Opportunities

Rat Mitigation Working Group update

As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to control rat populations in Ottawa, the Rat Mitigation Working Group (RMWG) was established in 2023 to bring together key stakeholders to develop and implement effective solutions. The Working Group’s purpose is to coordinate a comprehensive approach to rat mitigation, focusing on education, prevention and control measures. Its goal is to reduce the impact of rat populations across Ottawa. 

Since the initiation of the RMWG, the City has taken proactive steps to assist in controlling rat populations through enhanced public education and resolving Property Standards issues. The Working Group is committed to continuing these efforts in the coming year, including:

1. New Tool to Report Rat Sightings: an online Rat Sightings Reporting Tool has been developed that allows residents to report rat sightings. Using the new online tool, residents can report sightings, upload photos and provide location details to identify hot spots and support a faster response. Requests submitted through the form will be actioned by the appropriate team.
2. Proactive Education Efforts: When a service request related to rats is received, By-law and Regulatory Services are the primary responders. Officers not only respond to the address, but also proactively inspect the surrounding area. Officers distribute educational door hangers to nearby homes, providing residents with information on rat mitigation. This educational and proactive approach helps build community awareness and addresses potential issues before they escalate.
3. Inspection of Food Premises: OPH continues to inspect food premises, such as restaurants, grocery stores, and warehouses, as defined by the Ministry of Health. During both routine and complaint-based inspections, Public Health Inspectors confirm applicable rodent control measures are in place for each facility. All education material provided on the OPH Rat Control webpage is regularly reviewed and updated as appropriate. 
4. Rental Housing Property Management By-law: This by-law was enacted on August 31, 2020, and requires landlords to have an integrated pest management plan, including proactive inspections and tenant education. When responding to property-related service requests related to rats, Property Standards and Zoning officers ensure compliance by mandating that landlords have a rodent reporting number posted and a rodent mitigation plan implemented.
5. City Facility Maintenance: Recreation, Culture and Facility Services conducts regular cleaning and sanitization of facilities and takes corrective action on building envelopes to deter rats from getting into facilities.
6. City Park Maintenance: Ottawa is a park-rich city with over 1,000 smaller parks or park-like sites. Public Works staff continue to monitor parks for signs of rats and conduct pest management control activities when needed.
7. Waste Management: Since the green bin is collected weekly at curbside, and garbage is collected biweekly, disposing of food waste in the green bin is a tactic residents can leverage to reduce food sources on their property and as a result, reduce the potential of rats. In addition, with the Council-approved policy to make organics diversion mandatory at multi-residential properties, properties that previously did not receive Green Bin service are now being onboarded. Multi-residential green bin containers are typically more secure, with tighter fitting lids than garbage containers, providing less access for wildlife.
8. Construction: Construction-related rat baiting may occur for City projects, at the discretion of the Branch Manager. There is also a focus on maintaining a clean work site and ensuring waste collection is unimpeded during a project.
9. Sewer Baiting: Infrastructure and Water Services continue to use licensed contractors to undertake sewer baiting when rat activity is detected in the sewer system. This action is restricted to City-owned sanitary sewers and must comply with Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) regulations, ensuring bait placement is selective to safeguard our ecosystem.

Effective rat management necessitates a collective approach. Residents and businesses are encouraged to learn about and implement rat prevention and mitigation strategies available on the City’s Rat Webpage and Ottawa Public Health Rat Control. Rat sightings can be reported via the Rat Sighting Reporting Tool or calling 3-1-1, and any rat-related questions may also be directed to 3-1-1 or [email protected]. 

The final property tax bill payment deadline is June 19

Residents are reminded the payment deadline for the final property tax is Thursday, June 19. It’s important to note that a penalty charge of 1.25 per cent for late payment is added the day following the due date and the first day of each month thereafter. For details, visit ottawa.ca.

A great fit for summer: The Tony Graham Youth Workout Pass

This summer, Ottawa's youth have an exciting opportunity to stay active and healthy, thanks to the Tony Graham Youth Workout Pass.

The Tony Graham Youth Workout Pass offers a free weight and cardio-room membership to Ottawa youth aged 13 to 17. This pass is valid from July 2 to August 31, providing a fantastic chance for young residents to engage in physical activity during the summer months.
