Le fédéral dit oui à la phase 2
Ville d'Ottawa

Par Le Droit, le 28 juillet 2015

Quelques jours après avoir pris la plume pour promettre un investissement fédéral de 1 milliard$ dans le prolongement du train léger, le député d'Ottawa-Orléans, Royal Galipeau, est débarqué à la station Bayview, hier matin, afin d'officialiser l'engagement de vive voix. Accompagné de son collègue de Nepean-Carleton, le ministre Pierre Poilievre, il a confirmé que le gouvernement conservateur contribuera au prochain chapitre du projet en épongeant le tiers de la facture de 3 milliards$. La phase 2 du train léger consiste en la réalisation de trois tronçons vers l'ouest jusqu'au centre d'achats Bayshore, à l'est, jusqu'à Place d'Orléans et vers le sud, jusqu'à Riverside. Les quelque 30 kilomètres de rails seraient construits entre 2018 et 2023. via Le fédéral dit oui à la phase 2 | Ville d'Ottawa.

University of Ottawa prof debunks myths on staying cool
Ottawa & Region
News

By Julienne Bay, Ottawa Sun, July 28, 2015

With a four-day stretch of temperatures expected to reach above 30C, Glyn Kenny, University of Ottawa research chair in environmental physiology, spoke with the Sun to debunk some myths on how to keep cool on a hot summer day. Sun: Does exercising outside to sweat more on a hot day actually keep you cool? Kenny: No. You got to remember that if that sweat drips off your body, it's of no value to you because it doesn't provide cooling. It's only when sweat evaporates off your skin, that you get any cooling (effect) from that evaporated sweat. via University of Ottawa prof debunks myths on staying cool | Ottawa & Region | News.

Reevely: Stephen Harper will build Ottawa’s LRT with his own hands if he has to
Ottawa Citizen

By David Reevely, Ottawa Citizen, July 27, 2015

The federal government’s billion-dollar contribution to Ottawa’s light-rail plans has nothing to do with the fall election, but the local Conservatives want you to know it’s happening only because of Stephen Harper’s strength and leadership. That was the theme of an announcement Monday morning at the Bayview O-Train station, where MPs Pierre Poilievre and Royal Galipeau joined a handful of city councillors to say what we’ve known since Galipeau sent the city a letter last week: the feds are in for a third of the city’s $3-billion plan to extend the first phase of rail with lines east, west and south starting in 2018. via Reevely: Stephen Harper will build Ottawa’s LRT with his own hands if he has to | Ottawa Citizen.

Ottawa Citizen

Lansdowne water plaza opens to (mostly) enthusiastic reviews
Ottawa Citizen

By Bruce Deachman, Ottawa Citizen, July 24, 2015

Yet another piece of the Lansdowne Park puzzle was put in place Friday morning, as deputy mayor Mark Taylor officially opened the “water plaza” and accompanying public art installation, promising “another space in this modern urban park where families and friends can come together to celebrate our community.” And while it’s difficult to say whether the youngsters and parents and grandparents who later arrived with the afternoon heat to test drive this splash pad and sculpture — part of the $4 million spent on public part in the urban park — were, in fact, celebrating our community, this much was clear: regardless of their thoughts on the Lansdowne project as a whole, the water plaza received a pretty uniform thumbs-up from spectators and participants. via Lansdowne water plaza opens to (mostly) enthusiastic reviews | Ottawa Citizen.
