Mayor Watson, together with Councillor Diane Deans, Chair of
the Community and Protective Services Committee, proclaimed October 26, 2016,
to be Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Awareness Day in the City
of Ottawa and presented the proclamation to Lana Desjardins and Georgia
Robinson, two staff from the City’s Municipal Child Care Centres.
Mayor Watson presented the Mayor’s City Builder Award to the
Greenboro Branch of the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association. This
group of volunteers has given over 25,000 hours of their time sorting, pricing,
and selling tens of thousands of books, successfully raising over $100,000 for
the Ottawa Public Library. They have created a unique, welcoming café style
environment within the Greenboro Community Centre where they do their volunteer
work, creating a strong link between the library and the community. Through
their volunteer efforts, they have provided the Greenboro Library with much
needed items as audio-visual equipment, shelving, and furniture for the
children’s area. They also provide volunteer opportunities for high school
students to earn community service hours.
