Save Our Greenspace

Ottawa Communities Fighting to Preserve Our Greenspace / Updates on the LRT Project

April 25, 2006

Rally of support tomorrow

Support is mounting for tomorrow's rally at City Hall (Lisgar side). This is to show support for the motion facing city council to direct the city to develop a multi-use year-round sports facility near the airport.

I encourage you to email your councillors and come out for some fun tomorrow! (Noon to 1:00pm) There will be ultimate frisbee players, soccer players, musicians and enthusiastic people having fun.

Ottawa Carleton Ultimate Frisbee Association, www.ocua.ca, stands to benefit along with the city, as it would become host to national and international soccer and ultimate championships.

Additionally,

  • A sports facility like the one proposed would bring enormous social and economic benefits to the city

  • The park would integrate well with the natural environment, and provide an excellent place for youth to go and be active.

  • Located on the N-S LRT line, it would add ridership and allow local soccer-moms and dads to leave their minivans at home.

  • Passengers on incoming flights will notice as they fly over the facility, that Ottawa is a vibrant, fun city to live in.
