<p><em>PHOTO: Under construction: A backhoe moves dirt on the site of the new Catholic high school on Cope Drive near the Walmart. En construction : une pelle rétrocaveuse déplace de la terre sur le chantier de la nouvelle école secondaire catholique sur la promenade Cope, près du Walmart.</em></p>
<p>Stittsville is growing, and so is the number of schools! This fall, École élémentaire publique Cassiopée opened for students as the first CEPEO (French public board) school in Stittsville.</p>
<p>Construction is underway for a new <strong><a href="https://glengower.ca/development/620-triangle-street-site-plan-control-application-for-a-new-catholic-elementary-school/">Catholic high school</a> </strong>(on Cope Drive near the Walmart) and <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/620-triangle-street-site-plan-control-application-for-a-new-catholic-elementary-school/"><strong>Catholic elementary school</strong></a> (on Triangle Street near Cranesbill), both in the Fernbank area.  And earlier this year, the Provincial government approved funding for a <a href="https://www.ecolecatholique.ca/projets-de-construction">future <strong>French Catholic elementary school</strong></a> (on Cope Drive at Shinny) – although the construction timeline is still to be determined.</p>
<p>In new neighbourhoods, land is reserved for future schools through the subdivision planning process, and assigned to a specific school board. School boards need to apply to the Province for funding, and it can often take several years before schools are actually built.</p>
<p>For more information about schedule and timelines for new school construction, you can contact a school board trustee. Until November 14, 2026, the contacts are:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ottawa-Carleton Public School Board</strong>: In June 2025, the Ontario government appointed a special supervisor to oversee operations of the school board. Trustee email addresses have been de-activated and there are no board meetings scheduled. Residents with questions for the public school board can email <a href="mailto:enquiries@ocdsb.ca">enquiries@ocdsb.ca</a>.</li>

<h2>Carte des écoles actuelles et futures à Stittsville (août 2026)</h2>
<p>Stittsville grandit, et le nombre d’écoles aussi! Cet automne, l’École élémentaire publique Cassiopée a accueilli ses élèves en tant que première école du Conseil des écoles publiques de l&#8217;Est de l&#8217;Ontario (CEPEO) à Stittsville.</p>
<p>Les travaux de construction sont en cours pour une nouvelle <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/620-triangle-street-site-plan-control-application-for-a-new-catholic-elementary-school/"><strong>école secondaire catholique</strong></a> (sur la promenade Cope, près du Walmart) et une nouvelle <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/620-triangle-street-site-plan-control-application-for-a-new-catholic-elementary-school/"><strong>école élémentaire catholique</strong></a> (sur la rue Triangle, près du chemin Cranesbill), toutes deux dans le secteur de Fernbank.  Plus tôt cette année, le gouvernement provincial a approuvé le financement d’une <a href="https://www.ecolecatholique.ca/projets-de-construction">future <strong>école élémentaire catholique de langue française</strong></a> (sur la promenade Cope, à la hauteur de l’avenue Shinny), bien que l’échéancier de construction reste à déterminer.</p>
<p>Dans les nouveaux quartiers, des terrains sont réservés pour de futures écoles grâce au processus de planification du lotissement, puis attribués à un conseil scolaire précis. Les conseils scolaires doivent présenter une demande de financement à la province, et cela peut souvent prendre plusieurs années avant que les écoles ne soient construites.</p>
<p>Pour de plus amples renseignements sur le calendrier et les échéanciers de construction des nouvelles écoles, vous pouvez communiquer avec un conseiller ou une conseillère scolaire. Jusqu’au 14 novembre 2026, les personnes-ressources sont :</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ottawa-Carleton Public School Board :</strong> En juin 2025, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a nommé un superviseur spécial pour surveiller les activités du conseil scolaire. Les adresses courriel des conseillers scolaires ont été désactivées, et aucune réunion du conseil n’est prévue. Les résidentes et les résidents qui ont des questions à poser au conseil scolaire public peuvent envoyer un courriel à <a href="mailto:enquiries@ocdsb.ca">enquiries@ocdsb.ca</a>.</li>

<li>One week after they were removed, compliance fell to 62%.</li>
<li>12 weeks after they were removed, compliance was at 41%.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>More speed = less safety.</b> Last winter in Kanata, a driver nearly hit a baby stroller. Last week on Heron Road, a driver was going so fast that they flipped their car. Here in Stittsville, police recently caught a driver traveling at 78 km/h on Abbott Street, in a 40 km/h school zone. All three locations previously had speed cameras.</p>
<p><b>What about speed bumps? </b>The City will be installing speed bumps in several school zones in Stittsville where the cameras were removed, including near Sacred Heart, St. Stephen&#8217;s and Paul Desmarais. (They can&#8217;t be installed on Stittsville Main in front of Holy Spirit because it&#8217;s a major roadway.) We are also adding speed indicators along Cope Street in front of the three schools: Shingwàkons, St. Bernadette, and Maplewood.</p>
<p><b>Why haven&#8217;t speed bumps been installed yet?</b> First, they can&#8217;t be installed during the winter months. And although the provincial government has said they are providing funding for the speed bumps, there&#8217;s a convoluted application and approval process through the Ministry of Transportation that is stalling the process. We&#8217;re going to discuss this at committee on Thursday and I&#8217;m working with my council colleagues to get the safety measures installed ASAP.</p>
<p><b>How you can help: </b></p>
<ul>
<li>Follow the posted speed limit at all times.</li>
<li>Put your phone away and pay attention while you are driving.</li>
<li>Obey all &#8220;No Parking&#8221; and &#8220;No Stopping&#8221; signage.</li>
<li>If you can, avoid driving near school zones <a href="https://glengower.ca/information/stittsville-school-drop-off-and-pick-up-times/" data-cke-saved-href="https://glengower.ca/information/stittsville-school-drop-off-and-pick-up-times/">during pick-up and drop-off times</a>.</li>

<h2>CARNET DE NOTES : Des nouvelles sur les radars photographiques et la sécurité en zone scolaire</h2>
<p>Lorsque le gouvernement provincial a interdit le contrôle automatisé de la vitesse (radars photographiques), l’automne dernier, tout le monde prédisait une hausse des excès de vitesse. Et c’est exactement ce que les données confirment aujourd’hui.</p>
<p><strong>Le personnel municipal a mesuré la vitesse des véhicules aux emplacements des huit anciens radars d’Ottawa, avant et après l’interdiction :</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Avant le retrait des radars, 87 % des automobilistes respectaient la limite de vitesse en zone scolaire.</li>
<li>Une semaine après leur retrait, ce taux a baissé à 62 %.</li>
<li>Douze semaines après leur retrait, il avait chuté à 41 %.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Plus de vitesse = plus de danger.</strong> L’hiver dernier, à Kanata, un automobiliste a failli frapper une poussette. La semaine dernière, sur le chemin Heron, une autre personne roulait si vite que sa voiture a fait un tonneau. Ici, à Stittsville, la police a récemment arrêté une personne qui roulait à 78 km/h sur la rue Abott – une zone scolaire de 40 km/h. À ces trois endroits, on trouvait auparavant un radar photo.</p>
<p><strong>Et les dos d’âne? </strong>La Ville aménagera des dos d’âne dans plusieurs zones scolaires de Stittsville, là où des radars ont été retirés, notamment près de l’école secondaire Sacred Heart, de l’école St. Stephen et de l’école secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais. (On ne peut faire de même sur la rue Stittsville Main en face de l’école Holy Spirit, étant donné que c’est une route principale. Des indicateurs de vitesse seront aussi installés sur la promenade Cope en face des trois écoles : Shingwàkons, Sainte-Bernadette et Maplewood.</p>
<p><strong>Pourquoi les dos d’âne ne sont-ils pas déjà aménagés?</strong> Tout d’abord, on ne peut les aménager en hiver. Et bien que le gouvernement provincial ait dit qu’il les financera, le projet est actuellement ralenti par un processus compliqué de demande et d’approbation du ministère des Transports. Nous en parlerons à la réunion du Comité ce jeudi, et je travaille avec mes collègues du Conseil à faire aménager les dispositifs de sécurité dès que possible.</p>
<p><strong>Ce que vous pouvez faire :</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Respecter en tout temps la limite de vitesse affichée;</li>
<li>Ranger votre téléphone cellulaire et garder les yeux sur la route;</li>
<li>Respecter tous les panneaux de stationnement interdit et d’arrêt interdit;</li>
<li>Si possible, éviter de circuler près d’une zone scolaire <a href="https://glengower.ca/information/stittsville-school-drop-off-and-pick-up-times/">durant les heures d’arrivée et de départ des élèves</a>.</li>

<p><em>Originally published September 28, 2023<br />
Current as of January 2026 / À jour en janvier 2026</em></p>
<p>Fewer cars and less congestion near schools result in a safer environment for students. For more information and tips, visit the <a href="https://www.ottawasafetycouncil.ca/">Ottawa Safety Council web site</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Tips &amp; suggestions:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>First priority for school zones should be school buses, school vans, school staff, and children and parents with mobility issues who require close access to schools.</li>
<li>For other parents who are driving their kids to school, please park a few blocks away and walk the final distance to school. (Check out the <a href="https://www.ottawaschoolbus.ca/walk-zone/for-families/walking-route-maps/">Ottawa Safety Council&#8217;s Walk Zone Maps</a> for help.)</li>
<li>For all other residents, if you can, please find an alternate route and avoid school zones during pick-up and drop-off times. We&#8217;ve included a list of Stittsville &amp; area schools below.</li>
<li>Remember to slow down, obey the instructions of crossing guards, and follow all posted no parking and no stopping signage.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UPDATE: City planning staff have approved this Site Plan Control application.</p>
<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan Control application for new high school at 5431 Fernbank Road. The site is located between Cope and Fernbank, just west of the Walmart plaza.</p>
<p>The Ottawa Catholic School Board is proposing to build a three-storey school (grades 7 to 12) with approximately 14,771 square metres of gross floor area. The development also includes two sports fields, an outdoor classroom, a parking lot located south of the school to accommodate 175 parking spaces, a separate drop off area and visitor parking.</p>
<p>The building would be located at the corner of Cope Drive and Atlas Terrace with vehicular access from Fernbank Road and Atlas Terrace. A bus-only drop-off access is provided from Fernbank Road. The plan also notes an area for a future addition fronting Cope Drive and for 30 portables to be located adjacent to the sports field.</p>
<p><a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D07-12-25-0141/details">More information about the proposal is available on the City’s DevApps site…</a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<h3>What’s next</h3>
<p>This application has not been approved. City staff will be reviewing the application to ensure it complies with applicable provincial policy and city policy and by-laws. Councillor Glen will also be reviewing this application with his team.</p>
<p>Note that under Bill 109 enacted by the Provincial government in 2022, City Council no longer has the final say on Site Plan Control approvals. Although councillors can provide feedback and comments, the final decision rests with City staff.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Stay informed and share your feedback</h3>
<p>The site plan control process allows the City to influence land development so that it is safe, functional and orderly. It is also used to ensure that the development standards approved by the City and other agencies are implemented and maintained.

<h2>5431, chemin Fernbank : réglementation du plan d’implantation d’une nouvelle école secondaire catholique</h2>
<p>La Ville a reçu une demande de réglementation du plan d’implantation visant une nouvelle école secondaire au 5431, chemin Fernbank. L’emplacement en question se trouve entre la promenade Cope et le chemin Fernbank, immédiatement à l’ouest de l’esplanade du Walmart.</p>
<p>L’Ottawa Catholic School Board souhaite construire une école de trois étages (de la 7<sup>e</sup> à la 12<sup>e</sup> année) d’une surface de plancher hors œuvre brute d’environ 14 771 mètres carrés. Ce projet comprend également deux terrains de sports, une salle de classe extérieure, une aire de stationnement aménagée au sud de l’école et d’une capacité de 175 véhicules, une aire de débarquement séparée et une aire de stationnement pour visiteurs.</p>
<p>Le bâtiment serait érigé à l’angle de la promenade Cope et de la terrasse Atlas, et l’emplacement serait accessible depuis le chemin Fernbank et la terrasse Atlas. Une zone de débarquement pour autobus donnera sur le chemin Fernbank. Le plan indique en outre une zone réservée à un rajout éventuel qui donnerait sur la promenade Cope et à 30 salles de classe mobiles contiguës à un terrain de sports.</p>

<p><em><strong>UPDATE:</strong> The site plan has been approved as of January 14, 2026.</em></p>
<p>The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan Control application for 620 Triangle Street, located at the intersection of Honeylocust Avenue and Triangle Street. The Ottawa Catholic School Board is planning to develop a new elementary school.</p>
<p>The new school will be one storey with a play yard at the rear of the building. The proposed parking spaces for staff will be accessed via Triangle Street. The proposed bus and car laybys will be located along Triangle and Honeylocust Avenue.</p>
<p><a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D07-12-25-0131/details">More information about the proposal is available on the City’s DevApps site…</a></p>

<h3>What’s next</h3>
<p>This application has not been approved. City staff will be reviewing the application to ensure it complies with applicable provincial policy and city policy and by-laws. Councillor Glen will also be reviewing this application with his team.</p>
<p>Note that under Bill 109 enacted by the Provincial government in 2022, City Council no longer has the final say on Site Plan Control approvals. Although councillors can provide feedback and comments, the final decision rests with City staff.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Stay informed and share your feedback</h3>
<p>The site plan control process allows the City to influence land development so that it is safe, functional and orderly. It is also used to ensure that the development standards approved by the City and other agencies are implemented and maintained. Building location, landscape treatment, pedestrian access, drainage control and parking layout are a few of the items addressed during review. Please note that issues such as building height or building use (residential versus commercial, ownership versus rental, etc.) are not a part of a site plan review.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit </em></p>
<p><em>(Photo: École élémentaire publique Kanata-Stittsville, under construction in June 2025 on Cope Drive.)</em></p>
<p>The number of schools in Stittsville is set to increase in future years, depending on population growth and provincial funding.</p>
<p>The map below shows current school locations, along with land that has been reserved for future schools. Construction is underway or funding has been announced for only three of these future sites.</p>
<p>Construction for new schools depends on when each school board decides to build them, and requires funding from the provincial government.</p>
<p>In new neighbourhoods, land is put aside for future schools and is often “dual-zoned” for either school or residential use. The school board has a seven-year option from the date the subdivision is registered to use the site for a school. At the end of the 7-year window, there is an option to extend the option period, or offer the site to another school board.</p>
<p>For more information about schedule and timelines for new school construction, you can contact a school board trustee:</p>

<li><strong>Ottawa-Carleton Public School Board</strong>: On June 27, 2025, the Ontario government appointed a special supervisor to oversee operations of the school board.

<h2>Carte des écoles actuelles et futures à Stittsville (juillet 2025)</h2>
<p><em>(Photo : École élémentaire publique Kanata-Stittsville, en construction en juin 2025 sur la promenade Cope.)</em></p>
<p>Le nombre d’écoles à Stittsville devrait augmenter au cours des prochaines années, en fonction de la croissance de la population et du financement provincial.</p>
<p>La carte ci-dessous montre l’emplacement des écoles actuelles, ainsi que les terrains qui ont été réservés pour de futures écoles. Les travaux sont en cours ou le financement n’a été annoncé que pour trois de ces futurs emplacements.</p>
<p>La construction de nouvelles écoles dépend des décisions de chaque conseil scolaire et nécessite le financement du gouvernement provincial.</p>
<p>Dans les nouveaux quartiers, des terrains sont réservés pour de nouvelles écoles, et le zonage est souvent double (utilisation institutionnelle ou résidentielle). Le conseil scolaire dispose d’une option de sept ans à compter de la date de l’enregistrement du lotissement, afin d’utiliser le terrain pour une école. À la fin de la période de sept ans, une prolongation peut être proposée ou le lieu peut être offert à un autre conseil scolaire.</p>
<p>Pour plus d’information sur les calendriers et échéanciers liés à la construction d’écoles, veuillez communiquer avec un conseiller scolaire :</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ottawa-Carleton Public School Board </strong>: Le 27 juin 2025, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a nommé un superviseur spécial pour surveiller les activités du conseil scolaire. Les adresses électroniques des conseillers ont été désactivées et aucune réunion du conseil n’est prévue. Les résidents qui ont des questions à poser au conseil scolaire public peuvent envoyer un courriel à <a href="mailto:enquiries@ocdsb.ca">enquiries@ocdsb.ca</a>.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> <a href="http://glengower.ca/tag/future-schools/">This post is out of date. The latest update on future schools in Stittsville is available here…</a></p>
<hr />

<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>(Originally published March 20, 2024.)</p>
<p>The number of schools in Stittsville could double in future years, depending on population growth and provincial funding.</p>
<p>The map below shows twelve sites that have been reserved for future schools. There are twelve sites in Stittsville, but construction is underway at only two of those sites.</p>
<p>Construction for new schools depends on when each school board decides to build them, and requires funding from the provincial government.</p>
<p>*On June 7, 2024, the Ontario government announced funding for <strong>two new Catholic schools in Stittsville:</strong> A high school at Cope &amp; Atlas (C-7), and an elementary school at Cranesbill &amp; Triangle (C-9). We still don&#8217;t have a timeline for when the school will be ready to open.</p>
<p>In new neighbourhoods, land is put aside for future schools and is typically “dual-zoned” for either institutional or residential use. The school board has a seven-year option from the date the subdivision is registered to use the site for a school. At the end of the 7-year window, there is an option to extend the option period. If school boards decide not to proceed with a school, the developer can proceed with development of homes instead.</p>
<p>For more information about schedule and timelines for new school construction, you can contact a school board trustee:</p>

<h3 style="font-weight: 400;">Carte de tous les terrains réservés pour de nouvelles écoles à Stittsville</h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le nombre d’écoles à Stittsville pourrait doubler au cours des prochaines années, selon la croissance démographique et le financement provincial.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">La carte qui suit montre douze terrains réservés pour de nouvelles écoles. Il y a douze terrains à Stittsville, mais des travaux de construction sont en cours sur seulement deux de ceux-ci.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">La construction de nouvelles écoles dépend des décisions de chaque conseil scolaire et nécessite le financement du gouvernement provincial.</p>
<p>Le 7 juin 2024, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a annoncé le financement de deux nouvelles écoles catholiques à Stittsville : une école secondaire à la hauteur de la promenade Cope et de la terrasse Atlas (C-7) et une école primaire à la hauteur du chemin Cranesbill et de la rue Triangle (C-9). Aucune date n’a été fournie quant à l’ouverture de ces deux établissements scolaires.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Dans les nouveaux quartiers, des terrains sont réservés pour de nouvelles écoles, et le zonage est habituellement double (utilisation institutionnelle ou résidentielle). Le conseil scolaire dispose d’une option de sept ans, à compter de la date de l’enregistrement du lotissement, afin d’utiliser le terrain pour une école. À la fin de la période de sept ans, il peut se prévaloir d’une option de prolongation. Si le conseil scolaire décide de ne pas y construire d’école, le promoteur peut y bâtir des résidences.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Pour plus d’information sur les calendriers et échéanciers liés à la construction d’écoles, communiquez avec un conseiller scolaire :</p>

<p><em>(Photo: Homes under construction in the Westwood subdivision in Stittsville.)</em></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a sample of your feedback so far about community amenities:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“</em><em>T</em><em>here aren&#8217;t enough community services, such as schools, doctors, community activities.”</em></p>
<p><em>“The schools in the area are already at capacity and adding this many new residents would not help this problem.”</em></p>
<p><em>“There are no family doctors in Stittsville [so this] will only overburden the already taxed Queensway-Carleton Hospital&#8217;s emergency department.”</em></p>
<p><em>“</em><em>Where will the kids go to school? Area schools are full.”</em></p>
<p><em>“A development of 431 units … may strain local services, schools, and transportation networks, negatively affecting residents&#8217; quality of life.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Whether it’s over 400 new apartments, or 400 new homes in a low-rise neighbourhood, these are all valid concerns.</p>
<p>Every year in Ottawa, more people are competing for existing services. Swimming lessons fill up faster, classrooms get more crowded, and emergency room wait times get longer.</p>
<p>There is a clear need for more housing in our province but we have seen very little commitment from the provincial and federal governments to support the growth that they demand from municipalities. We need more funding for infrastructure and amenities but provincial and federal leaders are explicitly telling cities that they will be cut off from funding if they don’t allow growth.</p>
<p>Ottawa urgently needs another source of money to help build the roads, transit, libraries, recreation centres and everything else that makes a healthy community. We’re falling behind and rising construction costs are making the problem worse.</p>
<p>In Ontario, city infrastructure in new communities is funded primarily through Development Charges (DCs) added to every new home and apartment. A new single home in the suburbs gets a development charge of $51,376; a townhome $40,296; a two-bedroom apartment $27,615.  This is the equivalent of nearly ten years of property taxes on the average home.</p>
<p>These charges are paid up front by new home owners and carried on their mortgages for years. Older neighborhoods have their own infrastructure deficits but increasing property taxes to pay for growth-related infrastructure is not only unpopular, it creates its own equity and affordability problems.</p>
<p>At current DC rates, 431 new apartments in Stittsville would contribute at least $10-million towards new roads, transit, libraries, emergency services and so on.</p>
<p>The builder will also be required to pay a <strong>“Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland”</strong> fee to be used towards upgrades of local parks and recreation services, and a <strong>Community Benefits Charge</strong> to be used on local improvements, for example upgrades to Stittsville Main Street. These fees combined will amount to several hundred thousand dollars.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>So what else can be done?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ottawa is joining other cities in this call for more money. The <strong>Federation of Canadian Municipalities</strong> is advocating for a new<a href="https://fcm.ca/en/focus-areas/municipal-growth-framework"> Municipal Growth Framework</a> to ensure healthy, equitable, and thriving communities. The <strong>Association of Municipalities of Ontario</strong> is also pushing the provincial government for changes.</li>
<li>Your voice makes a difference! I encourage residents to call or email their MP and MPP and ask: “<em>How will your government help fund cities so that they can support population growth with the required infrastructure and community services?</em></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>It is possible!</h3>
<p>Toronto just received a ton of money from the<a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/toronto-ontario-deal-other-municipalities-financial-stability-1.7046224"> provincial</a> and<a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2024/02/deputy-prime-minister-announces-over-162-million-to-support-asylum-claimants-and-low-income-renters-in-toronto.html"> federal</a> governments to help with its budget shortfall. Ottawa – a city of over a million people, growing soon to be 1.5-million people – also needs federal and provincial support for things like transit, climate change, emergency services, social services, schools, and healthcare.</p>

<h3 style="font-weight: 400;">6310, chemin Hazeldean : écoles, médecins et autres installations pour soutenir la croissance (partie 6)</h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>(Photo : Maisons en construction dans le lotissement Westwood, à Stittsville.)</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Voici un échantillon des commentaires que vous avez formulés jusqu’à présent au sujet des installations communautaires :</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>« Il n’y a pas assez de services communautaires, tels que des écoles, des médecins, des activités communautaires. »</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>« Les écoles de la région sont déjà saturées et l’arrivée d’un si grand nombre de nouveaux résidents n’arrangerait pas les choses. »</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>« Il n’y a pas de médecins de famille à Stittsville [et cela] ne fera que surcharger le service d’urgence de l’Hôpital Queensway-Carleton, qui est déjà submergé. »</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>« Où les enfants iront-ils à l’école? Les écoles de la région sont pleines. »</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>« Un développement de 431 unités&#8230; pourrait peser sur les services locaux, les écoles et les réseaux de transport, ce qui aurait des répercussions négatives sur la qualité de vie des résidents. »</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Qu’il s’agisse de 400 nouveaux appartements ou de 400 nouvelles maisons dans un quartier de faible hauteur, ces préoccupations sont toutes valables.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Chaque année à Ottawa, de plus en plus de personnes se disputent les services existants. Les cours de natation se remplissent plus rapidement, les salles de classe sont plus encombrées et les temps d’attente aux urgences s’allongent.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Notre province a clairement besoin de plus de logements, mais les gouvernements provincial et fédéral ne se sont guère engagés à soutenir la croissance qu’ils exigent des municipalités. Nous avons besoin de plus de fonds pour les infrastructures et les installations, mais les dirigeants provinciaux et fédéraux disent explicitement aux villes qu’elles seront privées de financement si elles ne favorisent pas la croissance.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Ottawa nécessite de toute urgence une autre source d’argent pour construire les routes, les transports en commun, les bibliothèques, les centres de loisirs et tout ce qui participe à la santé d’une collectivité. Nous prenons du retard et l’augmentation des coûts de construction ne fait qu’aggraver le problème.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">En Ontario, l’infrastructure urbaine des nouvelles communautés est principalement financée par les redevances d’aménagement ajoutées à chaque nouvelle maison ou nouvel appartement. Une nouvelle maison individuelle en banlieue est assortie d’une redevance d’aménagement de 51 376 $, une maison en rangée, de 40 296 $ et un appartement de deux chambres, de 27 615 $. Cela équivaut à près de dix ans d’impôts fonciers pour une maison moyenne.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Les nouveaux propriétaires payent ces redevances à l’avance, qui sont inscrites sur leurs hypothèques pendant des années. Les quartiers anciens ont leurs propres déficits en matière d’infrastructures, mais l’augmentation des impôts fonciers pour financer les infrastructures liées à la croissance n’est pas seulement impopulaire, elle crée aussi ses propres problèmes d’équité et d’accessibilité.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Aux taux actuels des redevances d’aménagement, 431 nouveaux appartements à Stittsville contribueraient à hauteur d’au moins 10 millions de dollars à la construction de nouvelles routes, de nouveaux transports, de nouvelles bibliothèques, de nouveaux services d’urgence, etc.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">De plus, le constructeur devra payer une taxe du <strong>règlement financier des frais relatifs aux terrains à vocation de parc</strong> qui servira à améliorer les parcs locaux et les services de loisirs, ainsi qu’une <strong>redevance pour avantages communautaires</strong> qui servira à financer des améliorations locales, par exemple l’amélioration de la rue Stittsville Main. L’ensemble de ces frais s’élèvera à plusieurs centaines de milliers de dollars.</p>
<h4 style="font-weight: 400;">QUE PEUT-ON DONC FAIRE D’AUTRE?</h4>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Ottawa se joint à d’autres villes pour demander plus d’argent. La <strong>Fédération canadienne des municipalités</strong> plaide en faveur d’un nouveau <a href="https://fcm.ca/fr/enjeux-prioritaires/cadre-de-croissance-municipale">Cadre de croissance municipale</a> pour garantir des collectivités saines, équitables et prospères. L’<strong>Association des municipalités de l’Ontario</strong> fait également pression sur le gouvernement provincial pour que des changements soient apportés.</li>
<li>Votre voix fait la différence! J’encourage les résidents à appeler ou à envoyer un courriel à leur député fédéral ou provincial pour leur demander : « <em>Comment votre gouvernement va-t-il aider à financer les villes pour qu’elles puissent soutenir la croissance de la population avec les infrastructures et les services communautaires nécessaires? »</em></li>
</ul>
<h4 style="font-weight: 400;">C’EST POSSIBLE!</h4>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Toronto vient de recevoir une somme d’argent considérable des gouvernements <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/toronto-ontario-deal-other-municipalities-financial-stability-1.7046224">provincial</a> et <a href="https://www.canada.ca/fr/ministere-finances/nouvelles/2024/02/la-vice-premiere-ministre-annonce-un-financement-de-plus-de-162-millions-de-dollars-pour-soutenir-les-personnes-qui-demandent-lasile-et-les-locatai.html">fédéral</a> pour l’aider à combler son déficit budgétaire. Ottawa – une ville de plus d’un million de résidents, qui passera bientôt à 1,5 million de résidents – a également besoin du soutien des gouvernements fédéral et provincial dans des domaines tels que les transports en commun, les changements climatiques, les services d’urgence, les services sociaux, les écoles et les soins de santé.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La version française suit</p>
<p>Over the past week or so I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to talk to OSTA management, MPP Goldie Ghamari, and school trustees Lynn Scott and Scott Phelan. We&#8217;re all looking for ways to help find transportation for thousands of students in Ottawa. At this point we need to be focused on working together to find a solution, rather than where to lay blame.</p>
<p>The crux of the problem is the driver shortage. OSTA needs to fill 130 driver positions. If you know someone who is looking for part-time work, send them to <a href="https://DriveYellow.ca">DriveYellow.ca</a> for more info.</p>
<p>OSTA says they&#8217;ll be sending an update to parents about potential short-term solutions, including:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="auto">Private coach buses for high school students</li>
<li dir="auto">Re-designing routes to combine/lengthen routes</li>
<li dir="auto">Reassigning students to another route at a stop further from home</li>
<li dir="auto">Using ParaTranspo for wheelchair service</li>
<li dir="auto">Reassigning students to OC Transpo</li>
<li dir="auto">Reassigning students to vans</li>
</ul>
<p>As Chair of the Transit Commission in Ottawa, I&#8217;ve also asked OC Transpo staff to provide any assistance they can. OC Transpo has 76 city buses dedicated to school routes (grades 7-12), and 20,000 students in the public and catholic boards have PRESTO bus passes from OSTA.</p>
<p>This school bus shortage means there are many more parents driving to school every day. I&#8217;m really concerned about safety and congestion and we have been working with the City&#8217;s traffic staff, Ottawa By-law, and Ottawa Police to look for solutions to help.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re driving to a school, please help ease the congestion if you can by parking a few blocks away and walking the last few blocks. And all residents should try to avoid unnecessary trips through school zones during the drop-off and pick-up times. (We&#8217;re compiling a list of school times for all Stittsville schools that we&#8217;ll share with residents soon.)</p>
<p>For the latest updates, please visit the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA) web site: <a href="https://www.ottawaschoolbus.ca/">www.ottawaschoolbus.ca</a></p>

<h2>CARNET DE NOTES : LE POINT SUR LA PÉNURIE D’AUTOBUS SCOLAIRES de l’OSTa</h2>
<p>Dans la dernière semaine, j’ai pu discuter avec la direction de l’Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA), la députée provinciale Goldie Ghamari et les conseillers scolaires Lynn Scott et Scott Phelan. Nous sommes tous à la recherche d’options de transport pour les milliers d’élèves d’Ottawa. À ce stade, nous devons collaborer : l’heure est aux solutions et non à la recherche de coupables.</p>
<p>Le nœud du problème, c’est la pénurie de chauffeuses et chauffeurs. L’OSTA a 130 postes à pourvoir. Si vous connaissez une personne à la recherche d’un travail à temps partiel qui pourrait être intéressée, sachez qu’elle pourra trouver de l’information sur le site <a href="https://driveyellow.ca/">DriveYellow.ca</a>.</p>
<p>L’OSTA a dit qu’elle informera les parents des solutions possibles à court terme, dont les suivantes :</p>
<ul>
<li>Transporter les élèves du secondaire en autocars privés;</li>
<li>Modifier les trajets pour les combiner ou les allonger;</li>
<li>Diriger des élèves vers un autre trajet (arrêt plus loin de leur résidence);</li>
<li>Utiliser les autobus de Para Transpo pour les personnes en fauteuil roulant;</li>
<li>Diriger des élèves vers OC Transpo;</li>
<li>Diriger des élèves vers des fourgonnettes.</li>
</ul>
<p>En tant que président de la Commission du transport en commun d’Ottawa, j’ai aussi demandé au personnel d’OC Transpo d’aider comme il le peut. OC Transpo destine 76 autobus aux trajets scolaires (élèves de la 7<sup>e</sup> à la 12<sup>e</sup> année), et 20 000 élèves des conseils scolaires publics et catholiques ont reçu une carte PRESTO de l’OSTA.</p>
<p>De plus, en raison de la pénurie d’autobus scolaires, beaucoup plus de parents vont reconduire et chercher leur enfant à l’école chaque jour. Je suis très préoccupé par la sécurité et la congestion, et nous cherchons des solutions avec le personnel chargé de la circulation, le personnel des règlements municipaux et le Service de police d’Ottawa.</p>
<p>Si vous allez à l’école en voiture, merci de contribuer à réduire la congestion en vous stationnant à quelques pâtés de maisons et en faisant le reste du trajet à pied. Les résidentes et résidents devraient éviter les déplacements inutiles dans les zones scolaires au début et à la fin des classes. (Nous compilons actuellement les horaires des différentes écoles de Stittsville et diffuserons la liste sous peu.)</p>
<p>Pour connaître les plus récentes nouvelles, consulter le site Web de l’OSTA : <a href="https://www.ottawaschoolbus.ca/">www.ottawaschoolbus.ca</a>.</p>
