    DO YOU HAVE THINGS CLUTTERING YOUR HOME?

    Why not put them out on


    Give Away Weekend! This weekend, Oct 22-23rd, put unwanted items at your
    curb with a FREE sign attached and someone else can pick it up, reuse it and reduce
    waste going to a landfill. Pass the word around and do your part for the
    environment!
    KANATA NORTH TOWN HALL, Oct 24th, 7-9 pm, Kanata Seniors Centre
    (Owen Prince Room), 2500 Campeau Dr. - Find out about apartment buildings
    (from 4 to 8 storeys) planned between Village Green and Williams Court. Hear
    about plans for the next phases for Arcadia and Richardson Ridge, new construction
    (and partial closure) on the Goulbourn Forced Road, and the start of work on the
    KNL lands. Proposed new buildings include Princess Auto and Bridgehead Coffee
    with more in the works. Ill bring you up to date on issues such as changes in your
    water bill and the 2017 City budget. Be the first to hear about a Cultural Festival
    here in 2017 and my efforts to locate a Centre of Excellence for autonomous
    vehicles in Kanata North. All are welcome to attend and raise any issues or
    concerns.
    Autonomous Vehicles Centre of Excellence City Council approved my motion
    to work to establish a Software Centre of Excellence for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)
    and to have AVs and driverless cars tested on roads here. Kanata North is home to
    many companies providing the software and communications for the driver assist
    software (already in cars to keep you in your lane or park your car) which is the
    forerunner for driverless cars. This will support local businesses such as QNX (a
    worldwide leader in this field), inform the City on what we have here and increase
    local employment. Driverless cars are coming so this will give us an edge in having
    a hub for the needed technology right here in Kanata North.
    2017 Cultural Booklet I have reached out to many arts and cultural groups
    (music, art, dance and theatre) in the Western Ottawa area of Kanata, Stittsville,
    West-Carleton-March and Goulbourn to create a booklet on all local groups in our
    area. If you know of any local groups (it can be a community group or one
    sponsored by a church or school) please contact my office to have it featured in the
    booklet for 2017. The goal is to tell residents about all of the wonderful groups in
    our area and the entertainment they bring to us. Then, on May 27, 2017 many of
    these groups will come together to hold the First Kanata-Carlton Cultural Festival
    celebrating Canadas 150th Anniversary (details to come later)! To be included in
    the booklet, please send me information by the end of October as we dont want to
    leave anyone out.
