Councillor Glen’s weekly update for Saturday, July 11, 2026

Good morning! Today I’m at the stormwater pond between Boulonnais Grove and Paseana Place, and Terry Fox Drive (stormwater facility #1353). Stormwater ponds play a major role in flood control during major rain storms like the one we saw on July 1. This pond provides overflow capacity for the surrounding neighbourhood, and outlets via the Monaghan Drain to the Jock River and eventually the Rideau River. This week’s updates: Recovering from the July 1 storm - if you had flooding, make a report via ottawa.ca/311/ plus more storm resources available at ottawa.ca  Canada Day thank you Transportation & Mobility Action Plan Committee approves renovictions by-law Committee votes “no” to Stittsville West urban expansion 5100 Robert Grant Avenue - Village Green update Hazeldean @ Savage update; new development proposed for Palladium @ Derreen Stittsville Main flower basket program Paul Lindsay Park stormwater maintenance Bus stop construction on Abbott @ Robert Grant Upcoming events: Cricket festival, West Side Pride, weekly parkrun, weekly Market @ the barn Ottawa Charge are moving to Stittsville OC Transpo youth ride free all summer Have a great week! –Councillor Glen
