Happy Holidays from Team Bay Ward!

As we approach the end of another remarkable year, I want to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to each and every one of you. The holiday season is a time of reflection, gratitude, and joy, and I hope it brings you moments of peace and happiness. Our community has faced its share of challenges, but together, we have proven time and again that we are a resilient and supportive neighborhood. It is the strength of our bonds and the spirit of unity that make Bay ward a special place to call home.

As your City Councillor, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve you and work towards making our city an even better place. Your engagement, feedback, and commitment to our community are truly appreciated and we look forward to working with you in 2024.

In light of the holiday season and to allow my team a well-deserved break, our office will be closed from December 22 to January 2. During this period, our team will be recharging to return in the new year with renewed energy and enthusiasm to continue providing you with the best service possible. This will be our final newsletter for 2023. Our next issue will be sent out on Friday January 12, 2024.

Should residents require assistance over the holidays I encourage you to reach out to ServiceOttawa to request services from the City:

Online: The quickest and most cost-effective way for residents to submit most service requests is online, either at Ottawa.ca/311 or with the mobile app, under Report or request. Service requests submitted through this channel are sent immediately and directly to the appropriate City crews for action.

Email: Members of the public can email the City at 311@ottawa.ca.

Phone: Members of the public can telephone 3-1-1 (613-580-2400).

The City’s 3-1-1 Contact Centre will be open for urgent matters only between December 24 and January 1. Please visit ottawa.ca/311 for more information.
