Mayor Watson congratulated Councillor M.
Fleury and his wife, Lai, on the recent birth of their son Jacob, and presented
Councillor Fleury with a commemorative population sign to mark the occasion.
Mayor Watson, accompanied by Councillor G. Darouze,
presented the Mayor’s City Builder Award to Allan and Judy Graham. During the
course of their 30-year business career with AJ’s Catering, Mr. and Mrs. Graham
have become strong sponsors of charitable organizations within the Osgoode
Ward. Since retiring five years ago, they have continued their volunteer
efforts, including co-founding the “Fries for Charity” activity consisting of a
self-contained french fry truck which can be booked for charities to support
their fund raising efforts, and helping to organize the annual “Busting out the
Brews” fundraiser for the Osgoode Care Centre. Mr. Graham also volunteers with
the Greely Lions fundraising events, is founder of the neighbourhood Albert
Bowers Outdoor Rink and continues to maintain it with other volunteers. He is
also President of the annual Shroomfest fundraiser and is Chairman of the
annual Metcalfe Fair Car Show. Mrs. Graham’s volunteer efforts also include
volunteering with the Metcalfe Fair and Shroomfest.
Mayor Watson and Steve Kanellakos, City Manager,
presented the City of Ottawa Award for Heroism to James Walton, Parking Control
Officer with By-law and Regulatory Services, in the
Emergency and Protective Services Department. The Award of Heroism is part of
the City’s Employee Recognition Program. Mr. Walton was recognized his actions
on January 16, 2017 to assist a child who was suffering a seizure in the back
of his mother’s vehicle. Acting quickly, Mr. Walton quickly took control of the
scene, and flagged down an Ottawa Police Service vehicle that was driving by.
Together with the officer, Mr. Walton provided first aid to the unresponsive
child until Ottawa Paramedics arrived, while continuing to keep control of the
scene and reassure the mother.
All Members were
present for the meeting except Councillor T. Tierney.
