Mayor Watson recognized 33 Domestic Response Company for
their outstanding support to the City of Ottawa,
particularly for their support with flooding in the spring of 2019. On April
26, 2019, in response to the Province of Ontario’s Request for Assistance, 33
Canadian Brigade Group was requested to form a Domestic Response Company to aid
with the flood relief efforts in Eastern Ontario. Within 48 hours, the Domestic
Response Company was able to deploy close to 100 soldiers to support the flood
relief efforts in Cumberland, Rockland, Constance Bay and Lemieux Island.
33 Canadian Brigade Group is a military formation comprised
of 16 Army Reserve Force units from cities across the National Capital Region,
but also as far south as Oshawa, north in Timmins, east in Cornwall and west in
Sault Ste. Marie. The 16 Reserve units include the Cameron Highlanders of
Ottawa (Duke of Edinburgh’s Own); the Ontario Regiment (RCAC); 30th
Field Artillery Regiment; 33 Combat Engineer Regiment; 33
Canadian Brigade Group Head Quarters; 33 Service
Battalion; 33 Signal Regiment; Governor General’s Foot Guards; 42nd
Field Artillery Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish); 49th Field
Artillery Regiment; the Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment; the Hastings and
Prince Edward Regiment; the Brockville Rifles; Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders;
the Algonquin Regiment; and the Irish Regiment of Canada.
Mayor
Jim Watson presented the Mayor’s City Builder Award to Ms. Kim Steele, in honour
of her outstanding volunteerism. Ms. Steele, a certified fitness instructor, has
been offering free fitness classes at the Corkery Community Centre since 2006.
Her three weekly classes have expanded access to fitness programming in a rural
area of the city. Her classes have become an avenue for collecting of food for
new mothers and cards for those ill or in need. In addition to promoting health
and fitness, Ms. Steele brings people together, offering an opportunity for
participants to forge special bonds that would not otherwise exist.
All Members were
present at the meeting, except Councillors D. Deans (See Motion
No. 20/1 of September 25, 2019), R. Chiarelli, and M. Luloff.
