Updates from our Safety Committee:

Fall Road Safety Reminder: Keep an eye out for kids and adults as people cycle and walk more with school back in session

Car/Shed Thefts. Numerous cars and backyard sheds being searched on Bayswater and Hutchison. PLEASE, lock as thieves take advantage of any opportunity to steal and PLEASE report all incidents to police, even if nothing stolen and car was unlocked. Without your report, police cannot track patterns and assign resources t prevent future break ins.

Current Scams. Fake 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.

Details on these and more on our Fraudulent Activity Page. Remember, question everything. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Wonder who to call? Click on our handy reference list of numbers for the police and the City of Ottawa.
