Ottawa East Community Association

The Old Ottawa East Community Association is hosting a meeting to discuss the proposed zoning changes at the Greystone Development. Regional Group has requested a planning change that would allow for buildings up to nine storeys on land currently zoned for up to a maximum of six storeys. This change could result in higher buildings in front of the historic Deschatelet Building, impacting the views of this iconic structure in the heart of our community.

In view of the escalating impact of climate change, the Old Ottawa East Community Association calls upon the City to heighten its focus and efforts directed towards implementing measures that mitigate the effects of climate change, and that contribute towards the development of a resilient ecosystem. To help encourage these initiatives, the Old Ottawa East Association supports the declaration of a climate emergency in the City of Ottawa.
 
Toward this end, we have passed the following motion at our meeting of April 9,
2019:
