Bridge over Rideau to open

in 2012NEVIL HUNT

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

It’s an easy chip shot with one heck of a water hazard.

Between Barrhaven and Riverside South, it’s only 95 metres wide, but the Rideau River might as well be a kilometre across when it comes to travel by car, bus, bike or on foot. In 2012, that will change.

On Tuesday, July 27, ground was broken for the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge.

In 2012 it will carry six lanes of cars, two lanes of buses and two lanes of bikes as well as providing wide pedestrian walkways. One day it could also carry light rail.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, Bar-rhaven Coun. Jan Harder joked that she worried she might be 80 years old and living at the nearby Carleton Lodge retirement home before the bridge was built.

“I look across now and ask ‘Why the heck did it take so long?’” Harder said.

With the trees removed from both sides of the river, the span appears much shorter than in the past; the arch of the bridge will need to be just 123 metres long.

Construction crews have already dug access roads down to both river banks so trucks, bull-dozers and drills can create the bridge’s footings, which will hold up the 6,600-ton structure and all the cars and buses above.

“It helped that the city created a ward that’s on both sides of the river,” Harder said, alluding to Gloucester-South Nepean, the ward represented by Coun. Steve Desroches.

Desroches said he often uses the exist-ing Hunt Club or Manotick bridges to get from one half of his ward to the other. He said that when he runs into constituents they want an update on the bridge’s time-lines.

“The fi rst question people always ask me is ‘When?’” he said.

The councillor touted the economic benefi ts of the connection between the two communities – both the 550 jobs dur-ing nearly two years of construction as well as the long-term effect of linking the commercial areas of Barrhaven and Riv-erside South.

Construction of the bridge’s roadway will take place on the eastern bank of the Rideau and will be slid into place over the river on tracks, Desroches said.

“Residents are already asking if there will be a viewing area to watch this un-fold,” he said.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Glenn Brooks represents Manotick res-idents, and he’s looking forward to a reduction in traffi c on the village’s Bridge Street. One traf-fi c study has estimated Manotick could see a drop of more than 25 per cent in traffi c volumes once the Strandherd-Armstrong link is avail-able to drivers.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Brooks said of the groundbreaking. “It’s been on the books for decades.”

Brooks would also like truck traffi c diverted away from Manotick, although that may be a tough sell at city coun-cil.

“This bridge will make a big difference in the traffi c in Manotick and hopefully allow us to remove heavy truck traffi c and many vehicles off Manotick’s Main and Bridge streets,” he said.

Osgoode ward’s growing population will likely make good use of the complet-ed bridge.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson called the future crossing “one of the most sought-after and Osgoode ward-friendly projects we’ve ever seen.”

He also referred to the original north-south light-rail plan envisaged by the pre-vious city council.

“If we’d gone ahead with the light rail plan drawn up while Bob Chiarelli was mayor, we’d be on it by now,” he said.

Ironically, Chiarelli was on hand for the bridge groundbreaking in his new role as MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean.

“Nowhere is growth more evident than in Barrhaven south and Riverside South, and nowhere is a bridge more needed,” Chiarelli said, adding that the link will see “two communities become one.”

The provincial investment in the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge matched the money from the federal government

and the city. Chiarelli said the province has invested in Ottawa-area road expan-sions, the future light rail system and the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge to the tune of $322 million.

CANCELLED NORTH-SOUTH LINE

Asked later about the cancelled north-south LRT plans, Chiarelli said the old transit plans would have seen the bridge open in September 2009, but added that the day’s groundbreaking is still very good news.

“It makes my enthusiasm all the more heightened because this bridge is needed even more than in 2009,” he said.

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre represented the federal government for the ceremony. He said the new bridge will connect 60,000 people in Barrhaven and Riverside South, calling it “a bridge whose time has come.”

Mayor Larry O’Brien said the ground-breaking is one step in the process, but

he’s eyeing the future.“I look forward to the

day in 2012 when we can drive, walk and bicycle from one community an-other,” O’Brien said.

As the bridge is built, surrounding roads are being widened to carry more traffi c:

• Strandherd is being extended east to Prince of Wales Drive, where the bridge is located,

• Prince of Wales will be widened to four lanes north and south of the bridge, but will remain two lanes wide as driv-ers travel north or south away from the bridge,

• Armstrong is being widened from two to four lanes eastward to Lime-bank Road,

• Limebank is being widened to four lanes as

far north as River Road.The completed road network will mean

drivers can travel on at least four lanes between Barrhaven’s commercial areas along Strandherd, to Riverside South, and then north to Hunt Club Road (via Limebank and River roads).

The new, wider route will provide faster connections for commuters, shop-pers, students and emergency vehicles, as well as people headed to the Ottawa air-port. Because the new bridge is expected to draw cars away from the Hunt Club and Manotick crossings, the spinoff ef-fect could see commuters on the current bridges spend less time in traffi c.

If city council decides to add light rail to the mix, city project manager Marcel Delph said the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge now under construction will be strong enough to carry the type of trains that the city plans to purchase for the fi rst stage of LRT in downtown Ottawa.

“There is a provision for rail in place of two bus lanes (on the bridge),” Delph said, adding some alterations would be needed for the trains’ electrical connections.

MPs’ stand on census cuts

shows lack of understanding

I rent, do Ihave fewer rights?

There has been a lot of discussion recently about plans to simplify the census.

The former chief statistician Munir Sheikh resigned, helping to trigger parliamentary hearings. It seems some-thing important is at stake.

I am not a big fan of Stephen Harper or his government which has proven to be heavy handed and not great at listen-ing to the advice of the civil service. Sta-tistics is a highly technical and sophis-ticated fi eld of knowledge, and Canada has some of the best statisticians, no doubt. So it is easy to assume that the present government is blindly trying to cut costs, overrule the experts, and replace actual hard data with conserva-tive homey common sense.

Speaking truth to power has proven to be a dangerous thing during the cur-rent government tenure (think of the Afghan detainee issue, climate change, and the way budget offi cer Kevin Page has been treated).

It is tempting to think that the ruling government does not want any incon-venient truths to come to light which

could get in the way of what they have already decided is right. No doubt there is at least some degree of validity to these arguments.

On closer inspection, however, I think we can’t let personality (or lack of it) dictate public policy on this issue.

My only fear related to reducing the role of the census is what will be used to replace it?

If the different arms of government seek alternate ways to determine what Canadians are up to, they may start to join their databases and share informa-tion more freely.

The Privacy Act (which governs the public sector) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (which applies to the private sector) are a rather thin screen of protection for Canadians, but it is all that we have.

It will take on-going vigilance to preserve our freedoms, and this in my view is something Canadians should pay closer attention to.

Ron Saper

As the election debate rages on, we are hearing more and more about renters and their rights.

Knoxdale-Merivale candidate Jules Ruhinda said that on a canvas in his ward, he found that many people thought that because they didn’t own property and didn’t pay property taxes that they couldn’t vote.

In an area like Bayshore, where the 2006 Cana-dian Census showed that 79 per cent of residents were tenants, that would be a whole lot of people who were under the impression that they had no say in the city’s political future.

Let’s be clear, probably not everyone who rents was under the misunderstanding that they couldn’t vote, but how many were?

And with plummeting voter turnout rates and more and more apathy about politics from your typical residents, why has nothing been done about it before now?

When you crunch the numbers, the possibility that scores of people aren’t voting because they don’t know their rights is really scary.

In Bayshore there are 7,787 residents and the 79 per cent that rent would total 6,301. If only 30 per cent believes that they can’t vote, that would be more than 1,800 people.

And that’s only one neighbourhood in one ward.

We have all had some slum landlords, usually in our youth who won’t fi x that window that’s stuck or tries to keep our security deposit.

Try to think about our most at-risk citizens who may be renting because they are low income or new Canadians. They may not know about basic tenant rights, like the landlord can’t enter your unit without 24 hours notice or your con-sent.

They may not know that there are services, such as the Landlord Tenant Board, that is there to help solve disputes over rent, charges and maintenance.

That’s a scary thought.What to do about it? Education. Make sure people know their

rights. A society is only as good as its weakest members.

Re: “City urges federal govern-ment to reinstate long-form cen-sus,” Barrhaven-Ottawa South This Week, July 29.

Opposition to the cancellation of the long-form census comes from those who know the value of the information that is gath-ered: sociologists, economists, statisticians, historians, geneal-ogists, archivists, provincial and municipal governments, com-munity groups, business groups, etc.

Even federal government de-partments are dependant upon information that will no longer be available to them.

These people understand that it is a waste of millions of tax-payer dollars to replace the cen-sus with a voluntary survey that will reduce the amount and ac-curacy of information gathered, thus rendering it useless for ac-curate decision making.

And they know that it is the taxpayers who will again pay for the research needed to replace the census information.

If Mr. Baird and Mr. Poilievre don’t understand the need for the accurate information provided by the census and instead wish to make government decisions based on anecdotes and personal opinions, perhaps we need to consider if they are the people that we want to run Canada.

A design build com-petition is being held for local architects and design fi rms who want to take a crack at build-ing a student commons building for Algonquin College.

The building, which would sit off of Navaho Drive, just east of the college’s D-building will be a three-storey 11,520-square metre space for students to get together.

It was originally thought up by the Al-gonquin College Stu-dents’ Association, who have worked with sur-veys from the student body to identify some of the things they wanted to see in the building.

The origi-nal concept would in-clude a 700-seat audito-rium, study spaces, food s e r v i c e s and student services in a one-stop shop kind of model.

But man-ager of con-s t r u c t i o n operations, John Dal-ziel said that they will rely on local talent to iron out the details of what the building will look like.

“We hope to open the contest by mid-August and then we will give designers a list of crite-ria,” he said. “Then we will review them and assign points to invite the top four fi rms will receive a request for proposal.”

Dalziel said he thought the four teams would be selected by November and hope-fully the number one fi rm would be selected by January.

“I think the hope is that we break ground on

construction by March 2011,” Dalziel said.

The project is part of the college’s expansion — which includes a campus in Pembroke, a main building in Perth and the Centre for Con-struction and Trades Excellence.

MORE FREE SPACE

“The Student’s As-sociation saw this as a real need because there is little to no non-aca-demic space on campus for students to gather,” Deborah Rowan-Legg, vice president of stu-dent services, said.

The commons build-ing is scheduled to open in the fall of 2012. Cost estimates are around $52 million, with the students association

picking up $30 mil-lion of the tab and the college $22 million.

“ B o t h a m o u n t s would come out of the capital bud-gets for the s t u d e n t ’ s association and the col-lege.” Row-a n - L e g g said. “But

some of the amount would still depend on funding.”

Rowan-Legg said she sees this as a perfect spot to offer some pro-grams from students services in places where people will naturally gather.

“The students iden-tifi ed programs like the employment cen-tre, the Centre for Stu-dents with Disabilities and the Mamidosewin Centre as potential pro-grams,” she said.

The zoning applica-tion to change the site from institutional to mixed use will go to the planning and environ-ment committee at the

When Transport Can-ada introduces its more rigorous testing for recre-ational boating licences in September, in-boat train-ing will still not included.

But don’t bother telling that to Advantage Boat-ing – based at the Nepean

Sailing Club – or any of his registrants.

The member school of the Canadian Yacht-ing Association had four participants complete the last day of a practical sail-ing course on July 22, and those associated with the program feel getting out on the water is the only smart way to go.

“I think we can all rec-ognize that we can read,” Advantage Boating in-

structor John Morrow said to his class before hitting the water, “but you have to get out there and perform the manoeuvres.

“The road to hell is paved with good inten-sions,” Morrow added of the current licensing pro-cedures.

Transport Canada con-fi rmed on July 6 that the written tests would be-come more diffi cult – go-ing to 50 multiple choice questions from 36, with a score of 70 per cent or higher receiving a passing grade and a lifetime certi-fi cation in both instances.

However Transporta-tion Minister John Baird said that including in-boat testing as part of obtain-ing a Pleasure Craft Op-erator’s Card isn’t some-thing that’s in the cards for now.

“That’s not something we’re looking at at this time,” the Ottawa West-Nepean MP said. “That would be a gigantic step.”

Boating licences have issued since 2002 and have gotten more stringent over time.

Right now across the country, anyone regard-less of age must have a boating licence to operate any sized boat with any sized motor.

Since most large sail boats have motors, opera-tors need a licence.

Mark and Laurie Trecarten took the sailing course offered by Advan-tage Boating even though they both have their boat-ing licences.

The couple would like to sail in the Caribbean one day and, as a result, felt the course was a ne-cessity.

“You can purchase a boat anytime you want with an operator’s card,” Mark said. “No one makes you take a course. You could just come out and rig it and go. But you wouldn’t be safe, you wouldn’t be capable, and certainly, at some point, you cause harm to your-self or others.”

The four-day, $565 pro-gram gave participants 18 hours of training in the sail boat. A 170-ques-tion exam also needs to be completed with a passing grade of 70 per cent.

On the water in Sonar boat – a sail vessel used in the Paralympics – Mor-row allowed each of the four participants to try out the various controls, including skipper.

Each person had to

master trying six knots, reefi ng the main sailing, and how to safely rescue a crew member that had gone overboard. They also learned the fi ner points of the water like which boat is the stand-on or burden

vessel in any given situa-tion.

Morrow noticed their preparation times slashed by about 15 minutes with each passing day, to the

point where it took about 15 minutes to hit the wa-ter.

Advantage Boating di-rector Kim Moffat said her courses are well received because – aside from them being mandatory in order

for people to be permit-ted to use the company’s boats – they make people feel safer on the water.

“How many people do not know how to go and effi ciently and ef-fectively go and retrieve somebody if they go in the water?” Moffat said. “Probably 80 per cent of the boating community wouldn’t have a nice quick method to go and do it. That’s what the whole boating education is about.”

Advantage boating also offer courses to peo-ple interested motor boat-ing, whether they have their licences or not.

Nepean Sailing Club smooths the waves

Photo by Nevil Hunt

Sailboats ply the waters of Lac Deschamps, the home of the Nepean Sailing Club, on a recent weekend. Operators of powered boats – even those with an engine that’s rarely used – don’t need to pass an in-boat test to become licenced, but the Nepean club offers training beyond those bare minimum standards.

... at some point, you cause harm to yourself or others.

Fire Hydrants: Testing for your Safety

This summer, the City of Ottawa will be testing municipal fi re hydrants on various streets throughout your community. Fire hydrant testing may result in temporary inconveniences, such as poor water pressure or brown or rust-coloured water. It is im-portant to remember that discoloured water is not harmful to your health. This ongoing maintenance procedure ensures that our hydrants are ready, should Fire Services need them.

Over the next few weeks, the City will be testing fi re hydrants in the following neighbourhoods:

• Windsor Park Village• Pineview• Sawmill Creek• South Keys• Heron Gate• Ridgemont

For more information on water issues and daily updates on which streets will be affected, call 3-1-1. You can also visit our website at ottawa.ca for more information about the testing program.

The City would like to thank you in advance for your patience.02-7030-9222 402477

Sail into safety with an advanced courseContinued from 6

For those without licences, all one needs to do is take the test online and have a friend witness the occurrence.

As a result, cheating – partic-ularly with sites that offer free retries – is commonplace.

“I’ve heard the stories more so through the news as well,” Moffat said, citing examples of people taking the test on behalf of friends. “There’s no educa-tion component to it.”

Baird said the government is still working on the appropri-ate amount of regulation per-taining to on-line testing.

Right now private companies create and administer the tests for Pleasure Craft Operator’s Cards. Their tests and proce-dures just need to be varied by the federal government.

However, starting in Septem-ber, in addition to the increas-ing the amount of questions to 50, Transport Canada will now standardize the test and come up with its questions.

Moffat fi gures that means there will be a specifi c amount of questions diffi cult criterion like rules of the water, sig-nage/buoys, and parts of the boat – similar to a G1 driving test, but Baird said the govern-ment is still ironing out the de-

tails. While many detractors of the

licensing procedures feel the test is strictly a cash-grab, both Moffat and Baird are quick to point out that the government takes no cut of the fee.

NO ALCOHOL

Both feel the test is necessary to increase safety measures.

The tests are market-driven with companies like Advantage Boating receiving 100 per cent of the proceeds. (Their tests are $40 and are only conducted in-person).

In the interim, drinking and boating is at the forefront of the government’s agenda.

“Right now we can’t take away your pleasure craft if you’re caught drinking and driving,” Baird said, add-ing that he’d like to see that changed.

“You can have all the rules and all the tests in the world but you’ve got to do more combat drinking and boat driving.”

Since patrolling the water-ways is a provincial jurisdic-tion, Baird couldn’t comment specifi cally on policing issues, but added: “Whatever sup-port we could provide them to protect the public is a good thing.”

Jim Watson lends an ear to rural voters

NEVIL HUNT

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Mayoral candidate Jim Wat-son is halfway through a series of visits to some of Ottawa’s rural communities, and he says he’s already heard from many frustrated voters.

After an earlier stop in Cum-berland, Watson met residents in Greely on July 28. He’ll be in Kinburn on Aug. 11, and North Gower on Aug. 26.

More than 40 people heard him speak at the Greely Community Centre, and about half stepped up to the microphone to ask questions. Watson said he was aiming for “dialogue, not mono-logue,” and the evening didn’t come across as electioneering.

“I don’t have all the answers,” Watson told the crowd in Greely. “But I’m open to ideas and that’s why I’m holding these meetings.

“The comments I hear from people after I speak is that they appreciate that I’m here listen-ing. That’s one of the issues: where has Larry O’Brien been?

He’s had no meeting on rural is-sues in four years.”

Watson said that, if elected on Oct. 25, they will see him back in the community.

“I’m not pretending to have deep rural roots,” Watson said, although he did grow up in a small town and his father was a farmer. “It’s important to keep this dialogue going after the elec-tion. If I’m fortunate enough to be elected, this isn’t the last you’ll see of me.”

Watson said he’s found that rural Ottawa residents have ex-pressed the greatest dissatisfac-tion with amalgamation.

“Rural residents too often feel disconnected from their govern-ment.” he said, before providing some examples.

“For the last four years it’s seemed like that movie Ground-hog Day at city hall. They’re still debating Lansdowne Park, light rail and sewage fl owing into the Ottawa River. It’s like a recur-ring nightmare.”

During the evening he ques-tioned city cost overruns sur-rounding a bus garage and a roundabout planned for Orleans, and legal arguments with a com-posting company “with the ink barely dry on the agreement.”

Mayoral candidate says O’Brien has done ‘square root of zero’

Photo by Nevil Hunt

May Hass, left, and her son Allan Hass, centre, share a laugh with mayoral candidate Jim Watson follow-ing Watson’s stop at the Greely Community Centre on July 28. Watson is making four stops this summer in Ottawa’s rural communities, aiming to learn more about what residents who live on the city’s many farms and in villages want from the next city council. The municipal election is on Oct. 25.

Continued from 8

A lengthy question-and-answer session was some-what dominated by discussion of a future recreation path in Osgoode ward and the pros and cons of allow-ing snowmobiles on the trail.

Watson was asked to stake out positions on many issues that will face the next city council.

MANOTICK DEVELOPMENT

Manotick Village and Community Association president Brain Tansley delivered some of the eve-ning’s toughest questions, all related to the future Minto subdivision known as Mahogany. The develop-ment is expected to roughly double Manotick’s pop-ulation and comes after city council voted it down, only to see the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) give the green light.

At that time, Watson was a minister in the provin-cial cabinet.

“You sat on your hands,” Tansley said.Watson said the OMB and the court that upheld

the OMB’s decision work at arms-length from the government.

“What did you want me to do, fi re the (OMB) com-missioner?” Watson asked, adding that MPPs can-not interfere in the work of the police, the courts or quasi-judicial boards such as the OMB.

Watson said that the job of a mayor is to get in-volved before a contentious development application ends up at the OMB.

“I would like to see those kinds of disputes settled locally,” he said. “A mayor should work with the local councillor, the community and the developer to come up with a plan that’s fair and reasonable.

“Better to fi nd a compromise in Ottawa rather than put it in the hands of the OMB. It’s been my re-cord as a city councillor to try and do that and fi nd a win-win situation.”

Following the meeting,Watson said the current mayor washed his hands of the Manotick debate.

“What did Larry do on the Manotick fi le? The square root of zero,” Watson said. “You need to use the offi ce of mayor to effect some positive change. Any time you keep the decision-making local, every-one wins.”

Watson added that the provincial Liberal govern-ment in which he served has made changes to the de-velopment appeals process and is letting that system operate before further tinkering.

“You can say, ‘Get rid of the OMB,’ and that’s a great populist position, but you need some way to ap-peal a decision made by a political body.”

He said that without the OMB three or four more times as many cases would end up in court, which would cost municipalities a fortune with no greater chance of success.

LIGHT RAIL

Rideau-Goulbourn council candidate Bruce Web-ster asked Watson Ottawa’s transit choice between buses or trains.

Watson said the original north-south light-rail plan shouldn’t have been cancelled.

“The city lost $110 million and eight years of prog-ress,” he said.

The fi rst stage of the light-rail plan recently ap-proved by city council – including a downtown tun-nel – is estimated to cost $2.1 billion, and Watson said he would back that plan if the tenders fi t the budget.

“If the tender is $2.1 billion, get the shovels in the ground, but if it’s $800 million or $900 million over, we have a problem.”

Watson said the city would be on the hook for all costs beyond the budgeted amount. “We’d have to re-group. Let’s get it right the fi rst time.”

Watson showed that he’s kept up with Osgoode ward’s local news when the issue of a new multi-use trail was raised.

Watson said the question of motorized vehicles on the trail will end up with the city’s transportation

Light rail must be on budget: Watsonand transit committee after October’s election, and the public will have a chance to comment then.

OCSTC board member Bruce Patter-son offered to take Watson on a snow-mobile trip through rural Ottawa to see the trail network fi rsthand, an offer Watson appeared keen to accept.

Some of the other issues raised dur-

ing the meeting included:• water quality in local wells in the

face of continued development, • the increasing cost of city recre-

ation programs at rural community sites,

• poor communications in the city’s planning department,

• the environmental risks associated

with spreading biosolids – treated hu-man sewage – on farm fi elds,

• possible odour problems if the Or-gaworld composting plant is allowed to accept diapers.

On the latter issue, Watson said the city agreement with Orgaworld should have taken into account the possibility that the diaper request would be made.

Police focusing on pedestrian safety, red light running

Ottawa police will focus on pedestrian safety and red light running as part of the city’s Selec-tive Traffi c Enforcement Program (STEP) in Au-gust.

Between 2005 and 2009, 32 pedestrians were killed on Ottawa roads in traffi c collisions and an-other 1,684 pedestrians were injured – 186 of those injuries were serious.

Red light running is also a serious issue on Ot-tawa roadways. In 2009 alone, 774 reportable col-lisions occurred due to drivers failing to stop for red lights.

These collisions resulted in one death and 376 injuries; 18 of them life-threatening.

STEP is a monthly initiative. Each month since 2004, STEP has been profi l-

ing and enforcing two initiatives that target spe-cifi c traffi c safety priorities.

In a chance of a lifetime to participate in the Disney Cup International hosted by the Dis-ney’s ESPN Wide World of Sport Complex, Ottawa South United’s 94G Force squad travelled to the Florida facility for the week of July 11 to 18.

This amazing state of the art complex, and intense sun and temperatures in the 40’s all week could have intimidated the girls, however they showed up in full focus and ready to take care of business.

The fi rst game was a very dominating 3-0 win over a Lasal-le Rapides, Que., team. It would prove to be the easiest game of the week, however it was good to get the feet wet and confi -dence up.

The second day posted the girls up against Strictly Soccer Futbol Select which fi nished with a deserving and fair 1-1 draw. The third day was sched-uled against Southwest Florida United.

The OSU girls came out fl at and surrendered a very early goal. The game was fairly bal-anced until they got a break against the run of play and scored a controversial insur-ance goal to fi nish our game with a 2-0 loss.

A free day in the schedule was

a welcome break to do some tour-isty things. Following the break, the Force played NJSA Norwalk Tides from Connecticut. Focus was good and the play was bet-ter. The girls were full value for a 2-0 win.

With the 2-1-1 record, OSU fi n-ished third overall in the stand-ings and were seeded into the bronze medal championship against the previously-played NJSA Norwalk Tides team.

Determination and fi ght

would prove to be the success of the OSU girls in this one. The girls battled and played some of the best soccer of their season in this game resulting in a very strong 2-0 team victory to win the tournaments bronze medal.

OSU girls capture Disney title

Charges laid in local break-ins

The Ottawa police service’s break and enter team has charged a 25-year-old man in relation to at least 17 break and enters in the city’s south end, including Manotick, Greely and Osgoode.

On July 23, members of the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit executed a search war-rant on Wellington Street for an unrelated matter. Evidence was gathered which led to the discovery of numerous items related to ongoing break and enter investigations.

The 25-year-old Ottawa man is charged with:

• 17 counts of break and enter and theft,

• fi ve counts of possession of stolen property,

• 17 counts of failing to com-ply with a recognizance.

The suspect was expected to appear in court on July 30.

The investigation is con-tinuing and more charges are expected. Anyone with infor-mation is asked to contact the Ottawa police east break and enter team at 613-236-1222, ext. 3515, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS).
