Another Important Week

          I don’t understand why it’s so hard in this town for citizens
to defend green spaces from developers. Exactly why are
home builders so influential and powerful in Ottawa?
             -Brigitte Pellerin, The Ottawa Citizen, November 14, 2019

This is another important week in our campaign to fight the redevelopment plans of ClubLink and its Ottawa based partners Richcraft and Minto Communities and we are reminding you to step up and help us protect our green and open spaces.

We’ve reached a new funding milestone. Thank you

We just passed the $85,000 mark… but we need to keep going!

At our November 5 meeting we unveiled our Make a Difference campaign. The KGPC needs $185,000 to engage the best experts we can to help our community protect, preserve and provide access to our green and open spaces and STOP CLUBLINK in the process. Thank you!

Please read the anticipated financial impact of the ClubLink proposal to your home and property as viewed by the top realtors in Kanata.

These slides on our website explain our fundraising goals for and how your donation can help us get there.

You can still donate by cheque or to our GoFundMe campaign online if you prefer.   All donation instructions can be found there.

Only 3 days to Write to the City and oppose the ClubLink proposal!

All residents of Kanata need to email a letter to City of Ottawa Planning Department at kanatalakes@ottawa.ca  by the deadline of November 22 to object to this redevelopment application.

The ClubLink application and all supporting documents can be found on the City of Ottawa Planning department website.

Your letter can

• Be short and to the point.  Bullet format is acceptable
• Be personal.  Explain why you chose to live in Kanata North and why this application offends you
• Provide detailed impact of the application on your specific property and the impact of this proposal overall in key areas such as loss to the environment

The recommendations of our expert planner as to what you might include and also what you ought avoid in your letter is posted on our website under the Write to the City tab.

The KGPC will be making a written submission to the City before this deadline and it will be published on our website.
