Un projet-pilote de réorientation des déchets organiques

À l'heure actuelle, les résidents d'Ottawa réorientent environ 31 % de tous les déchets solides. La Ville récupère, entre autres, près de 60 000 tonnes de produits recyclables déposés dans les boîtes bleues et noires et plus de 25 000 tonnes de feuilles et résidus de jardinage. Cependant, les objectifs de réorientation des déchets fixés à 50 % par les gouvernements fédéral et provincial laissent entendre que l'on peut faire mieux, comme on a pu le constater dans des collectivités d'Halifax et d'Edmonton. Le but de cette stratégie est de maximiser la vie de notre site d'enfouissement et donc de minimiser les coûts pour les contribuables.

Certains secteurs du quartier Rideau-Rockcliffe seront des communautés participantes à ce projet-pilote. 

The Pond

Many residents of the ward have heard rumours that access to the Pond for swimmers will change. It is true that City staff have concerns regarding liability issues under the current rules. I am working with users and staff to see how these concerns can be addressed with as few changes, if any, to the hours of operation of this wonderful facility. The status quo seems ideal as the current system has served well for quite a few years. One must bear in mind that this 'swimming hole' is located in an ecologically sensitive conservation area. The matter is proving difficult to resolve and will take more time than I had originally thought possible. I prefer to take care with this dossier and we do have time before the next season is upon us. Stay tuned for the next bulletin. 

I would be pleased to try to answer any questions that you may have.
