A small neighbourhood in Toronto has built a program to help residents reduce their household emissions. Their hope now is to adapt their grassroots approach so that other communities can achieve similar success.
The City of Ottawa has approved more than $150 million in tax breaks for developers who clean up contaminated sites since the program began 15 years ago, although it has paid out far less than that.
The Ottawa Police Service raised the need for a “serious discussion” about the Panda Game’s future in the aftermath of the second straight year of rowdy street parties following the event, according to emails obtained through an access to information request.
Ottawa police say there will be a "significant and sustained" police presence in Sandy Hill and Old Ottawa South today, keeping an eye on Panda Game festivities.
Ottawa police and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees Twitter account urged students to leave Sandy Hill, as thousands of students participated in post-Panda Game celebrations.
