The City of Ottawa would like to remind residents of the following schedule changes and City service impacts on Good Friday, April 3, and Easter Monday, April 6.

Spring is finally here!  It’s that time of year when volunteers across our city come together to clean up litter from our public spaces. You can choose to clean up a park or green space, roadside, shoreline, or even the areas around bus stops. 

Whether you’re reuniting last season’s lineup or starting fresh with a new group, now’s the opportunity to sign up and get ready for the season. It’s a great opportunity to gather and reconnect with family, friends and co-workers to stay active and have fun this summer.

Heads up: The Library will be closed on Friday, April 3 (Good Friday) and Monday, April 6 (Easter Monday)
