With more reasonable weather this coming Sunday, we've rescheduled the Walkability Audit.

Beaverbrook Winter Walkability Audit - Sun, Feb 22 1:30 PM @ Community Centre

In October 2014, volunteers completed a Walkability Audit in Beaverbrook to access the conditions of sidewalks, pathways and walking routes.  Six different routes were evaluated, including routes to a local grocery store, area schools, and the library.

A winter audit is being planned for Sunday February 15, 2015 to revisit the routes in snowy and icy conditions. This event is being organized by the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, Ottawa's Council on Aging, and Ecology Ottawa, and is part of a city-wide effort to study walkability in various neighbourhoods.

Volunteers are needed for Sunday, February 15th and are asked to meet at the Beaverbrook Community Centre at 1:30 pm. Small groups will be provided with a clip board, a route map, and a survey checklist. Each group will be assigned a route of 1 to 2 km.  Note takers will be provided for people who have mobility aids or who need assistance for some other reason.

The KBCA is looking to enlist a community volunteer to oversee the design of a logo celebrating the 50th anniversary of Beaverbrook.  Working with a student from the Graphic Design program at Algonquin College, this person will provide oversight and input throughout the design process.  The ideal candidate will have a professional marketing background and an understanding of the history of Beaverbrook.  If you are interested in this unique opportunity which would start in early January, please contact Rob McAulay, This email address is being protected from spambots.

Due to increasingly severe weather conditions, the KBCA New Year's Levee is postponed from Sunday, Jan 4, 2015 to Jan 11, 2015

Residents of Kanata’s Beaverbrook community are invited to kick off 50th anniversary celebrations at a New Year’s Levee, Sunday January 11th from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Beaverbrook Community Centre, 2 Beaverbrook Road.

As many of you know, Beaverbrook is 50 years old in 2015. And to kick it off here's an article from the Jan 1, 2015 Kanata Kourier which features an interview with Dot and Ted Smale - who were among the first Beaverbrook home owners - and an outline of some of the 50th year activities starting with the New Year's Levee this coming Sunday, Jan 4th from 2 to 4 P.M. in the Beaverbrook Community Centre, 2 Beaverbrook Road
