Development in the Village - Public Consultation: Proposed Low Rise Apartment Building 1185 Beaverwood Road

For the past few weeks the MVCA has reached out to you with notices on our website, social media and posted announcements for an important public consultation taking place on ZOOM 7pm Jan 24. If you have not yet registered, we urge you to do so.

This public consultation is for a proposed development for 1185 Beaverwood road in Manotick (corner of Beaverwood and Scharfield) currently being considered by the City of Ottawa. The developer has met with our Councillor David Brown and City Staff to provide an overview of the proposed development. They now seek input from the public. MVCA is hosting an online presentation with Q&A so residents may hear from the project proponent and share their thoughts about the development.

What is your Greatest Accomplishment? “Earning the title of Student Council President at my school. The process was not easy, but I persevered and made it through, even though there were setbacks along the way. It has also been a very rewarding accomplishment, as I’ve gained so many opportunities, and gotten to network with other youth like myself.”

Shiverfest is coming soon to Manotick

“Both inside and outside of school, I enjoy participating in several different sports. These include soccer, futsal, volleyball, coed volleyball, and touch football. I also enjoy traveling and learning about different locations and cultures. I’ve travelled to many places and I find it very interesting how every culture has unique traditions and subcultures. My favourite place is Norway, because there is such beautiful places all over the country and amazing hiking. The next location I wish to travel to is Iceland, because it’s a very open country, with very kind citizens, and lots to see.”
