Denise Herbert 


For over 25 years, Denise Herbert has been running the Osgoode Emergency Food Cupboard out of the St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Enniskerry. Every Saturday morning, she opens the door for residents in need of food and support.


Working alongside the local Greely Lions, high schools and elementary schools, Ms. Herbert always ensures there are ample supplies in the food cupboard to meet the needs of the community, which prevents residents from having to travel into the city to access other food cupboards. This includes purchasing food staples to supplement the food cupboard and coordinating food distribution.


 Association des auxiliaires du Centre d’accueil Champlain’s.


The Association des auxiliaires du Centre d’accueil Champlain volunteer group was founded in 1969 with the opening of the not-for-profit francophone residence Centre d’accueil Champlain. The group raises funds for residents and provides volunteer hours to help improve residents’ quality of life. The group has created a supportive and familial home for vulnerable residents, adapting to the changing needs of the community, over the last 50 years.


The Association des auxiliaires du Centre d’accueil Champlain raises and donates over $25,000 and volunteers approximately 10,000 hours every year. This year, the group is working to donate $50,000 to celebrate the Centre d’accueil Champlain’s 50th anniversary.

All Members of Council were present.

No regrets were filed.

    WHEREAS the prohibition of right hand turns on red at the intersection of York Street and Sussex Drive in the By-ward market is intended to address vehicles making the movement west bound on York approach into a very busy crosswalk too fast and encroaching into the crosswalk,  which for such a high pedestrian area brings concerns on the safety and walkability for one of the highest pedestrian volume areas of the City; 

    WHEREAS the ByWard Market has seen constant interventions to improve the Specialty District, to improve pedestrian environments, including additional stop measures, on-street patios, street closures etc; and

    WHEREAS City staff have recognised the speeding concerns along York street west bound with the implementation of two seasonal speed bumps; and

    WHEREAS the volume of pedestrians along Sussex and York streets is driven by key attractions including local businesses in the market, the National Gallery, Major’s Hill Park, Alexandra Bridge, the Mint, the Rideau Centre, the Shaw Centre and Local Hotels; and

    WHEREAS this matter is being brought directly to Council as the Transportation Committee meeting is not anticipated to meet again before the end of this Term of Council; 

    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approve the installation of All Way Stop Control at the intersections of:

    a)    St Charles Street and Alice street
    b)    Laval Street and Loyer Street;
    c)    Ste Monique Street and Marquette Street
    d)    Ste Monique Street and Ste Cécile Street
    e)    Daly Street and Cumberland Street

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Council waive the warrant criteria to include the intersection of St. Ambroise Avenue and Alice Street on the list of intersections eligible for a Pedestrian Crossover (PXO), subject to availability of future funding in the next Road Safety Action Plan, safety review, and in consultation with the 2022-2026 Ward Councillor; and
    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That Council approve the implementation of a no right turn on red prohibition at the intersection of York Street and Sussex Drive.

    WHEREAS, for existing properties, front yard parking restrictions and private approach by-law are normally enforced only on a complaint-driven basis; and

    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approve that, in respect of the reconstruction of Grove Avenue and Grosvenor Avenue, private approaches and encroachments be reinstated as they were immediately prior to the reconstruction of this street; and

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the fees for an encroachment, including the agreement, in respect of 93 Grosvenor be waived subject to the owner agreeing to remove the encroachment should redevelopment take place on site.
