Extra garbage pickup, no three item limits this week
Commencing on Monday July 6th, a Special Collection operation is scheduled to be deployed alongside regular curbside collection.
I WILL SHARE MORE INFORMATION ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS AS INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
These trucks along with regular curbside collection will be picking up all curbside garbage including storm related debris and up to 2 garbage cans of construction debris in Wards 7, 8 and 9. The three-item limit will not be enforced in these Wards.
Once completed, this Special Collection operation will continue to collect in concentrated areas throughout the City based on service requests received by 3-1-1. With the current volume of requests being received, it is anticipated that collection of storm-related debris may take many weeks.
For additional construction debris, please contact your insurer. You can also take it to the Trail Road landfill (4475 Trail Road) for disposal (there's a small fee).
Big thanks to city staff for blowing up their regular operations to make this response happen for the wards hardest hit.

Asking the Province of Ontario for Assistance
I am collaborating with our College Ward MPPs to call upon the Province of Ontario to assess Ottawa immediately for additional relief for residents through the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians Program.
Under this program, if approved by the Province, eligible residents could be reimbursed for:
- clean up expenses
- costs to repair or replace essential property
- basic emergency expenses like evacuation travel costs.
Thank you to MPP Chandra Pasma and MPP Tyler Watt for your responsiveness to your local representatives and your commitment to residents, as well as other MPPs and my Council Colleagues.
Call, write, and stay up to date
As City Councillor, my team and I can help you with issues that fall within the municipal areas of responsibility: local traffic calming; infrastructure like sidewalks, roads, and bike lanes; municipal tax statements; some social services; parks and recreation; and more. Please note that I cannot help you with parking tickets or other provincial infractions - to attempt to do so is illegal.

Pour nous appeler, nous écrire et vous informer
Mon équipe et moi, en tant que conseillère municipale, pouvons vous aider avec les questions qui relèvent des domaines de responsabilité municipale : la modération de la circulation locale, les infrastructures comme les trottoirs, les routes et les bandes cyclables, les relevés d’imposition municipale, certains services sociaux, les parcs et services récréatifs et plus encore. Veuillez noter que je ne peux vous aider en ce qui concerne les contraventions de stationnement ou les infractions provinciales – le faire serait illégal.
