We need you for the Neighbourhood Watch Program!

Your community needs you for the Neighbourhood Watch Program starting this July 1st at Jonny Canuck’s!

Join us for breakfast on July 1st, 2nd or 3rd between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. at Jonny Canuck’s, learn about the benefits this program brings to our community and sign up!

Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours.

It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperate between area residents and the police – and more importantly, between residents themselves.

You can get involved by signing up for the role of block captain, or as a participating resident. To sign up or for more information, contact our coordinator Neil Congdon (neil.congdon@cardinalcreek.org) or read the Neighbourhood Watch Program page on this site!

Help your community prevent crime and join us!

Votre communauté a besoin de vous pour le Programme de Surveillance de Quartier, dès le premier juillet au Jonny Canuck’s!

Venez déjeuner avec nous les 1er, 2 ou 3 juillet entre 8h et 11h au Jonny Canuck’s et venez en apprendre sur les avantages de ce programme pour notre communauté et inscrivez-vous!

Il s’agit d’un programme qui aide les voisins à veiller sur leurs voisins.

Il contribue à inciter les citoyens à décourager et à prévenir le crime au niveau local. Au bout du compte, la réussite du programme de surveillance de quartier dépend largement de la qualité de la collaboration entre les résidents du quartier et la police (et qui plus est, entre les résidents eux-mêmes).

Vous pouvez vous impliquer en vous inscrivant comme capitaine d’îlot, ou comme résident participant. Pour vous inscrire ou pour de plus amples informations, contactez la coordinatrice Geneviève Gaignery (genevieve.gaignery@cardinalcreek.org), ou voyez la page du Programme de Surveillance de Quartier sur ce site!

Aidez votre communauté à prévenir le crime et joignez-vous à nous!

CHEO BBQ fund raising event 2011

Saturday, June 11, 2011
Shefford Park, Ottawa
Ultimate Frisbee & Volleyball Tournament

The CHEO BBQ is an annual one-day fund raiser held in support of CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario). Each year, over 2000 people venture out to Shefford Park in Ottawa’s East end to compete in beach volleyball and ultimate tournaments, frolic in the fun-packed family zone or just to spend a warm summer day socializing with friends.

Our humble beginnings back in June 1993 started as a backyard birthday celebration with 15 high school friends. As chance would have it, the CHEO Telethon was taking place that same weekend. The friends passed a fishbowl around and the collection was donated in to the CHEO Telethon on behalf of “The CHEO BBQ”… and so a tradition was born.

These days, The CHEO BBQ is one of Ottawa’s premiere summer festivals and continues to flourish as an annual fundraiser for the kids at the CHEO. This 19th year will be nothing short of spectacular. With the financial and community support of our sponsors, CHEO BBQ 2011 is bound to be an unqualified success with a first-rate beach volleyball and ultimate tournament, huge BBQ pit, fantastic Family Zone, and of course, the world’s best volunteers.

If you are interested in a volunteer opportunity, are looking to play volleyball or ultimate, or simply want to have lunch with us? Please accept our invitation to the 2011 CHEO BBQ.
