A Path to the Future
Cst. Milton’s Corner
Westboro neighbours achieve new link to transitway By Lorrie Marlow Many of you have asked about the crowd by the school on Lanark Avenue on Saturday May 3rd. It was a celebration party! Finally we will have a walking path along Beechgrove from the parkway to Westboro Station. It will allow neighbours to cut through a previously inaccessible area with the opening of a fence. The path is expected to be fully completed sometime in September. Special thanks to our elected representatives: MP Yasir Naqvi and Councillor Katherine Hobbs for navigating through the bureaucracy and getting the funding. As Yasir Naqvi said (in jest) at the celebration, if the cost of this project was $1 million it might have been easier to get but being a small sum our bureaucrats were left bewildered. And a special thank you, as always it would not have been possible without the help of our neighbours led by
Local politicians Katherine Hobbs, and Yasir Naqvi join residents to celebrate a new pathway in the Westboro Beach neighbourhood. Photo by Lorrie Marlow

A job well done to everyone concerned, and very soon for all to use and enjoy.

Four and a half years ago, I took on the job of Community Police Officer at the Wellington Community Police Centre (WCPC). The Ottawa Police Service has a policy of rotating officers through different positions every few years, so I knew this one wouldn’t last forever. The day has come when I have to say good-bye. My term here is over and I’ll be doing something new for the next few years. When I arrived here, someone told me that this would be the best job I ever had. At first, I didn’t give it much thought because I have worked with some stellar people in my past service. However, I have come to realize that this idea is true. When I look at how many volunteers, BIA’s, organization and community leaders, city employees, business owners, youth, city councillors, property owners, and community residents that I have had the privilege of meeting and working with, I realize how fortunate I am to have this profession. I have to say, “Thank you.” Welcome Cst. Dawn Neilly. I have had the opportunity to work with Cst. Neilly previously. She is one of the stellar people I referred to earlier. Cst. Neilly is anxious to get started serving the community and looks forward to meeting you. If your travels bring you to the area of the WCPC, I invite you to stop in and meet Cst. Neilly.
