Heart Institute Expansion UPDATE

Work is almost complete with an improved lobby, a reworked basement building level, and of course, the new Tower.  A bit of roof work is slowing down the opening of the relocated ambulance entry,  so that won't be ready until early June.  More details HERE

Updates from our Safety Committee:

As COVID-19 continues to spread globally, watch out for associated scams. Fraudsters want to profit from consumers' fears, uncertainties and misinformation. Fraudsters are exploiting the crisis to facilitate fraud and cyber crime.

BREAK-INS

Numerous incidents of daytime break-ins are happening in our area. PLEASE ensure you lock the door of your home, even if you are only in your yard or garden.  If you see suspicious activity while a neighbour is out, please call the Ottawa Police.

We also remind everyone to lock sheds and garages and remove anything of value from your car.  Thieves typically look for an unlocked vehicle, and once they gain entry, they go through the entire car, including the trunk,” said Cst.Lemieux.  In the event you notice someone acting suspicious around parked vehicles or if you see someone trying car doors – please call police and report it.

PLEASE report all incidents to police, even if nothing was stolen in the end or the car/shed was unlocked.  Without your report, police cannot track patterns and assign resources to prevent future break ins.

Bike Safety

Cool app to help reduce bike theft.  Check out the Garage 529 app...

Current Scams. Fake sites for drivers tests, slashed tires and offers of "help", emails from CHNA execs asking you for MONEY!; CRA - false calls of tax fraud & $$ owed; Ontario Energy Group asks to "inspect" your AC/Furnace;  Canadian Cancer Society -  does not solicit over the phone;  Ottawa Police - not calling for donations and Irish Low Paving Price - it really is too good to be true.
  • TIPS on how to approach charities and more can be found on our Fraudulent Activity Page.    Remember, question everything.  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
