HAPPENING HERE

Native plant sale. Native wildflower potting workshops will be held at the Conservation Co-op, 140 Mann Avenue from 1–3 p.m. on Saturday, March 28 and Thursday, April 2. To register, or if you have spaces for pots under lights or on a sunny windowsill, please contact marilynwonash@gmail.com. Plants will also be sold—cash only!—on April 27 before the ASH AGM (see notice p. 5).

Garbage and recycling collection.

Collection day will change in April—  or most of Sandy Hill from Tuesday to Thursday. Check the City’s online collection calendar or use the Ottawa Waste Collection Calendar app to be sure of your pick up day. Another change: garden waste must be set out separately from your green bin in a reusable container labelled “Leaf and Yard Waste” or in brown paper bags.

Pothole reporting. It’s time to report potholes for spring patching in Sandy Hill. Call 3-1-1 for immediate hazards or report online at https://ottawa.ca/en/3-1-1/report-or-request/road-and-sidewalk-maintenance/potholes.

Need a mature, responsible house sitter? A neighbour’s family member will be visiting Sandy Hill from June 30 to August 15 and would be pleased to look after your home if you are travelling.  Contact Scott Crighton: dscrighton@gmail.com
