The City held an unadvertised “pop-up” at Riverain Park on July 9, 2024, from 11:30-2:00pm to gather park users’ feedback. City staff members were on-site, along with a booth to inform people of the Parks and Facilities By-law Review and to discuss their experience with parks and facilities.
If you missed the Open House you still have a chance to provide your views on alcohol consumption in parks, and other bylaw issues by participating in a City of Ottawa survey until August 2, 2024.
