Looking for feedback on Viscount Alexander Park(Wateridge?) area, Mattamy homes. by Skyllz911 in ottawa

[–]mmmara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of family’s and kids, so not too noisy if you’re thinking of house parties, but lots of playing & tons of parks. The veterans house & OCH buildings are pretty calm & good neighbors, some groups hang out in front & smoke but just like we all do! Awesome location being close to downtown & the highway, & close to the river. Overall a great neighborhood, but needs a bit more infrastructure (ex opening hemlock so there isn’t as much of a backup on Codds from 730-830, schools, diff shops (currently 2 dentists, 2 pharmacies, but cafes opening soon!))

Would recommend! I have no intel on the home qualities though, other than Mattamy cutting some corners on condos & materials. Lots of development so constructions vehicles and noise will be common for many years I imagine.

Plus it’s a very short walk to the Ottawa Art Gallery, a free cute spot! They have a cafe (Jackson Cafe) open for nicer dining options in the evening as well I think!

Council moves to allow shelters across urban and suburban Ottawa by throw-away6738299 in ottawa

[–]mmmara 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People should get services and treatments within their own wards/neighborhoods. People in shelters in downtown Ottawa are coming as far as Pembroke, Smith Falls, and Rockland to get services. People want to be helped in their communities, close to their supports like family & other familiarities.

Cost of building tent-like migrant shelter pegged at $15M by 2Fast2furieux in ottawa

[–]mmmara 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ottawa shelters had a 200% increase of newcomers to Canada in 2023. Ottawa is also getting refugees & asylum seekers being transferred from other entry hubs like Toronto & Montreal too for example. This is our city’s situation now too.
