CALDWELL
This summer the Caldwell community hosted their third annual outdoor movie.
It was a tremendous success with 190 people!
Partners included: Carlington Community Health Centre, Christie Lake Kids, Caldwell Family Centre, Councillor Brockington’s Office, Ottawa Community Housing and the City of Ottawa. People in the neighbourhood helped prepare and distribute food and popcorn.
Garden work at Caldwell
This summer, one of our community volunteers, Nelson, dedicated dozens of hours to gardening in the Caldwell community! He worked closely with City of Ottawa and Carlington Community Health Centre staff to teach children attending the Bellevue Summer Camp how to plant tomatoes. We are grateful to Nelson for his hard work and patience and we are proud of the Community Achievement Award he was honored to receive at the Carlington AGM in June.
Parkwood Hills Receives Health is a Community Affair Award
The Parkwood Hills Residents was recognized at Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre’s AGM for working to create a healthier community and helping to shape culturally diverse community programming in the Parkwood Hills area over the years.
This group of motivated women have a strong sense for capacity-building which has greatly helped the community as a whole and opened opportunities for positive involvement of youth in the community.
With support from local partners, this group plans and runs family events throughout the year; applying for grants to make these possible.
