The weather is finally warmer and the ground dry enough to avoid damaging off-path areas.

With everyone spending more time outdoors, litter and garbage in public areas of Beaverbrook have been increasing. 

As we are not fully past COVID, we will hold another Virtual Clean-up Event for spring 2022.

  • Do the clean up any time from May 7 to the end of June 2021
  • Do cleanup in small groups - whoever you are comfortable with 
  • Restricted to cleaning up public areas, pathways, parks, etc.
  • Options
    • If you have already cleaned up an area or are planning to, let the KBCA know (email, below):
    • If you are not sure where to do clean-up, contact the KBCA and we'll assign an area
    • If you do clean up an area, let the KBCA know 
    • The KBCA has garbage bags and vinyl gloves for pickup

You will learn how to identify tree species and to assess a tree’s health and condition. After the course, you will join a team of volunteers to inventory trees on Beaverbrook streets.

Two developers are applying to develop 150 and 180 Kanata Avenue. These are important projects for Kanata North as their backyard is the Bill Teron Park (formerly Kanata Central Park)

These are located on the west verge of Kanata Avenue, which will remove some of the trees (which will be replaced) and be located below the escarpment which is part of the Bill Teron Park. The locations of these developments have been planned for some time, appearing in the original plan for a new Kanata Town Centre prior to the City of Ottawa amalgamation.

There will be back to back Zoom presentations on Monday, Mar 7 at 7 PM (180 Kanata Ave) [Zoom link] and 8:30 PM (150 Kanata Ave) [Zoom link]

For more understanding of the vision/plan for Bill Teron Park and how these buildings fit in see:
