Sunday, October 6
Jasmine Park - 1-3pm

Concerned about garbage and waste in the neighbourhood?

This year the Beacon Hill Community Association organized a clean up event in the spring and we are organizing a second opportunity to do something about the garbage and plastic pollution in our hood.

Join us on Sunday, October 6th at 1pm in Jasmine Park to help clean up the park. We'll meet at the front of the park near the basketball court.

Garbage bags will be provided. Some gloves will be available, but bring your own if you have them.

Please come dressed for the weather and with a big smile, ready to help clean the capital.

Let's make Beacon Hill shine!

Rehabilitation: Blair Road Boat Launch Access Road

The National Capital Commission (NCC) would like to inform you about upcoming work to be undertaken at the Blair Road boat launch access road. This work is part of the NCC’s major infrastructure projects funded by the Government of Canada’s $55-million investment announced in the 2018 federal budget.

This project aims to improve user experience, and enhance safety for pedestrians and pathway users at the Blair Road boat launch access road. The plan is to upgrade the boat launch from a gravel ramp to a permanent concrete ramp, which will better accommodate two vehicles using the launch at the same time. In addition, sightlines and visibility for vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be improved, through the installation of better permanent signage and some landscaping work.

The work is scheduled to start on September 15, 2019, and the boat launch will be closed as of that date. We estimate that work should be completed by January 15, 2020. Signage will be in place when the work begins, to help facilitate traffic flow. No pathway closures are expected while the work is ongoing. However, we do ask that cyclists and pedestrians exercise caution, respect work crews and equipment, and obey signage and flag personnel on-site.

If you have any questions about this project, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@ncc-ccn.ca.

Travaux de réfection – Route d’accès à la rampe de mise à l’eau du chemin Blair

La Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) souhaite vous aviser de travaux de réfection à venir sur la route d’accès à la rampe de mise à l’eau du chemin Blair. Ces travaux s’inscrivent dans le cadre des importants projets d’infrastructure de la CCN et sont financés par l’investissement de 55 millions de dollars annoncé dans le budget de 2018 du gouvernement du Canada.

Le projet vise à améliorer la route d’accès à la rampe de mise à l’eau du chemin Blair et à rendre les lieux plus agréables et plus sûrs pour les piétons et les autres usagers du sentier. Il prévoit la réfection de la rampe de mise à l’eau, actuellement en gravier, pour en faire une structure de béton permanente pouvant accueillir deux véhicules de mise l’eau à la fois. Les travaux comprendront aussi l’amélioration de la ligne de visibilité pour la circulation des véhicules et des piétons, grâce à un meilleur affichage permanent et au retrait de quelques arbres.

Le début des travaux est prévu pour le 15 septembre 2019, et la rampe de mise à l’eau sera fermée dès cette date. Des panneaux de signalisation seront alors installés pour faciliter la circulation. Aucune fermeture de sentier n’est prévue en raison des travaux. Nous demandons malgré tout aux cyclistes et aux piétons d’être vigilants, de respecter les équipes de travail et le matériel et de suivre la signalisation et les directives des signaleurs sur place.

La date d’achèvement prévue des travaux est le 15 janvier 2020.

Si vous avez des questions au sujet de ce projet, n’hésitez pas à écrire à info@ncc-ccn.ca.

The left lane is for passing. Please pull into the right lane whenever you're not passing someone.
Thanks OPP!
