The October calendar of events (second edition) can be found in the Calendars tab above.

COVID BivalentBooster Shots:

Booked your appointment yet for the bivalent booster? We couldn't do so online. However, we had no problem when calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre (PVCC) at 1-833-943-3900

Domestic and International Travel Changes:
Updated travel guidelines. Most everything as of October 1st is optional for travellers for both domestic and international trips. It is still advised by Health Canada to keep your vaccine status up-to-date.

Construction:

- has begun on the new intersection leading into the parking lot at the Barrhaven Seniors' Centre. This should be short term in nature and, when completed, should make exiting from our building much easier and safer.

Cleaning The Capital (from Councillor Harder's Office):

Nothing is more spectacular than the fall colours in and around Ottawa. This September, help make those views in your community even more enjoyable by registering for Cleaning the Capital.

Thanks to nearly 30,000 participants, the spring campaign was a big success with over 890 projects registered and approximately 24,000 kilograms of waste collected. Since Cleaning the Capital began in 1994, over 1.6 million volunteers have participated, and it is estimated that over 1,350,000 kilograms of waste has been removed from our public spaces.

Registration is now open until Friday, September 30 and can be easily done online. You can choose from a variety of public spaces to help clean up, such as community parks, roadsides, and shorelines.

Starter cleanup kits are available upon request. To learn more about the campaign or register your project, visit ottawa.ca/clean.

Legion:

The Barrhaven Legion is holding a "Craft Market" November 26th (see attached poster).
