The City of Ottawa would like to remind residents of the following schedule changes and City service impacts for the Labour Day holiday on Monday, September 1.

Due to the extreme dry conditions, three local conservation authorities have issued low water advisories. Users of private wells are encouraged to be prudent with their water use and avoid all unnecessary watering activities, including lawn watering.

Children's programs will be suspended between August 22 - September 15 as we prepare for our Fall Programs. The children's area including scavenger hunts are still open and awaiting your visit.  

Registration for the fall campaign is open until Tuesday, September 30. You can choose to clean up community parks and green spaces, roadsides, shorelines or even areas around bus stops. We encourage any residents interested in participating, including high school students looking to complete community involvement hours, to register
