For those following the ontario election, I am sharing with you an interesting experience with @Oneducation @indira_NH @yasir_naqvi #ottawa and the cost of school fields. @jchianello @calphonso @ottawacbc #ottnews #mississauga #olp. Its a bit of a boondoggle, really. #onpoli

This weekend was a beautiful one in #OOE! Missing: no place to toboggan, make snowforts + snowmen for neighbour kids since @OttCatholicSB and @OttawaFooty7s cut off access to the field incl winter! Is this what was meant by increased health benefits? @DrAlexGrucaMac @ShawnMenard1

[Neighbours for Community Fields @NeighbourFields]

Thanks @ShawnMenard1

Last night I gathered petition signatures to save two century trees, one being the largest in #OldOttawaEast If you want to sign online you can do so here: https://t.co/TLjrJNz6vT Our team will be at the Main st. Farmer’s Market Saturday too.

@DrAlexGrucaMac @Immaculata_HS The trend continues - developers over neighbourhoods and green space. When will it change? @NeighbourFields @chernushenko @JimWatsonOttawa

[Shawn Menard @ShawnMenard1]

@KristalPolci @NeighbourFields @OttCatholicSB Would love to meet up and speak with you further about this.

[Shawn Menard @ShawnMenard1]

@KristalPolci @cathmckenna @OCDSB @NeighbourFields This was the Catholic Board that did this with literally zero consultation. I wouldn’t have allowed this as the public board trustee.

Another exciting milestone for the Flora Footbridge! The centre span of the bridge, connecting east to west, was installed today. #OttCity #OttWalk #OttBike

This is the same as rubber crumb. Equivalent of 5,000 cars driving around continually, as footballers grind the crumb into dust, invisible airborne carbon black nanotubes polluting our children's lungs. https://t.co/dzEfj7XVNm

I encourage residents of #OldOttawaEast and #OldOttawaSouth to input into the Clegg St canal footbridge public art consultation. I just cast my vote. All beautiful concepts. All will encourage gathering/community = 👍 #publicart #ottwalk #ottbike https://t.co/E6Rcd1Ks3X

Bottom - @Immaculata_HS field earlier this year. Top - same field after @OttCatholicSB "improve" it during #HeatWave2018. Despite requirement for "seeded grass field" & creating heat island for students & residents. @chernushenko @JimWatsonOttawa Where is the City?

[3G ⚽️ PITCHES: HEALTH RISKS, ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE @Against_3G]

https://t.co/3oClxaugXa … now also says: Rubber granules on artificial turf bad for environment. But now what? Soil expert Edelman believes that the municipalities are committing an environmental crime and must remediate the dirty soil around artificial turf fields. https://t.co/7LUrkEvtIL

With this heat would you rather be outside on grass that stays below air temperature or artificial turf that retains the heat and gets as hot as 93 degrees Celsius on a hot day? @JimWatsonOttawa please keep grass at @Immaculata_HS https://t.co/ypIxTRfSRD

[CityNews Ottawa @CityNewsOttawa]

Heat warning in effect for #Ottawa. #ottnews. Here are some tips:

It’s currently 32 degrees Celsius outside. Would you rather be outside on grass that stays below air temperature or artificial turf that retains the heat and gets as hot as 93 degrees Celsius on a hot day? @JimWatsonOttawa please keep grass at @Immaculata_HS

[Neighbours for Community Fields @NeighbourFields]

Great idea. Ensure taxpayer funded school spaces are public and accessible to promote physical activity by the neighbouring community, young and old. https://t.co/86WqcLx75j

[Architects DCA @ArchitectsDCA]

@Fix_Our_Schools @DrAlexGrucaMac @NeighbourFields @ONeducation Recognize that schools are essential community hubs and shd be integrated in communities as part of a complete social network

[Architects DCA @ArchitectsDCA]

@DrAlexGrucaMac @NeighbourFields @ONeducation @Fix_Our_Schools That’s nonsense. Could see argument if this made money for specific purpose (funding model aside) but for free? That’s ludicrous. Who thought this business deal up?

[Neighbours for Community Fields @NeighbourFields]

Thanks @ArchitectsDCA we agree! @davidreevely @jchianello this issue needs to be looked at and public scrutiny needs to be focussed on these type of backroom deals. https://t.co/SczPdaNqVy

[Architects DCA @ArchitectsDCA]

@DrAlexGrucaMac @NeighbourFields @ONeducation @Fix_Our_Schools Needs investigation and reporting for the #publicinterest ; @davidreevely @jchianello ?

[Joanne Lostracco @joannelostracco]

@SaveKGVPrescot @KnowsleyCouncil Excellent news! Sadly here in 🇨🇦 and in Ottawa we are still selling out and locking out. @OttCatholicSB @NeighbourFields

[Architects DCA @ArchitectsDCA]

@DrAlexGrucaMac @NeighbourFields @ONeducation How much of this is out of desperation to raise funds to fix the school? @Fix_Our_Schools

[Jide Afolabi @CapitalWardJide]

Is the new turf at Immaculata going to be safe from a carcinogenic perspective? This is a question I’d like answered by both proponents, with 3rd party documentation. Community & users deserve to know. #bringboldback #ottcity #capitalward https://t.co/RmeOq3ptA0

[Joanne Lostracco @joannelostracco]

Can someone convey this message to @OttCatholicSB ? They seem pretty bound and determined to get rid of ours. @NeighbourFields https://t.co/S30AVFve8g

[Hanya Soliman @Soli317]

@NeighbourFields @DeniseAndreOCSB @chernushenko @JimWatsonOttawa Interesting article. Will Ottawa be looking into this report? https://t.co/K26Fgcjnq6
