Stephen Leacock School was closed last week due to heavy rain, but investigations found the issue was a blockage on school property, not with city drainage systems. The city and school board worked together to address the problem and reopen the school. Tickets are available for a fundraising event on November 17th to support the construction of a new mental health unit at Queensway-Carleton Hospital. The event will include an auction with proceeds going to the hospital's capital campaign. A Remembrance Day ceremony will be held on November 11th at the Cenotah in Kanata to honor those who fought for Canada's freedom and remember their sacrifices. The community is invited to attend and show appreciation for military members

STEPHEN LEACOCK SCHOOL Last week Stephen Leacock School was closed

due to problems with the amount of rain received. City staff immediately
investigated and determined that there were no issues with the citys drainage or
sewer systems. The City worked with the School Board to provide assistance to get
the school opened. An investigation by Board staff found a blockage on school
property and they undertook to fix it.

REMEMBERANCE DAY Join me this Saturday to remember those who have


fought for our freedom in this great country of ours. The ceremony begins at 10:45
am at the Cenotaph located on Colchester Square just off Campeau Drive. Lets
show the members of the military how much we appreciate the work they have
done and are still doing. This is a great opportunity for children to learn about the
sacrifice so many have made for our country. On behalf of myself and my staff, to
all Veterans and active Military personnel, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

ADOPT A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS As we head into the Christmas Season we


are reminded about those who might not have the financial means to put presents

Cupboard has an Adopt a Family Program for Christmas where families, businesses
and private groups support a family. Why not set up a support group to help a
family this Christmas? Information is available on the Kanata Food Cupboard
