Pumpkinfest is Coming — Join the Fun This Sunday! 

Get ready for one of Riverside Park’s favourite fall traditions! Pumpkinfest is happening Sunday, November 2 from 1:00–3:30PM at Ernie Calcutt Park (759 Mooney’s Bay Place) — rain or shine!

This free, family-friendly event has something for everyone:

• Kids’ activities: face painting, scavenger hunt, labyrinth, raffles & prizes
• Fire truck tours and a meet-and-greet with firefighters (2–3PM)
• Pumpkin bites and warm drinks made by the Caldwell Family Centre
• Pumpkin displays perfect for family photos
• Pet-friendly fun! Bring your four-legged family members too

All activities are free, but we’ll also be collecting non-perishable food donations and financial contributions to support the Brookfield Community Food Cupboard and local food security initiatives.

Bring your family, friends, and neighbours — and let’s celebrate fall together!

Dear Members of Ottawa’s Citizens’ Associations,

​The time to influence the new Zoning By-law is now. This monumental document will shape our city for the next two decades, and the crucial Joint Committee Hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2025.

​Your advocacy is most effective when it is concise, accurate, and powerful. You will only have five minutes to present your community’s concerns on your critical zoning issues.

​We invite you to participate in a crucial preparatory event:

​”Five Minutes for Twenty Years: A Zoning Delegation Dress Rehearsal” 

​Date: Wednesday, November 5, 2025
​Time: 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM
​Location: Champlain Room, Ottawa City Hall

​Purpose: This is your only chance to practice your 5-minute delegation, receiving constructive, on-the-spot feedback from your peers and City Councillors. We will help sharpen your arguments to ensure they resonate and better lead to clear action.
​
Your voice is a powerful instrument of change. Please join us to ensure it is perfectly tuned for the Committee.

​RSVP and Sign up to Practice: waters@fca-fac.ca

Your Community. Your Voice. Your Opportunity to Get Involved.

It’s that time of year again — when neighbours come together to connect, reflect, and shape the future of our community. The Riverside Park Community Association’s Annual Members Meeting is your opportunity to get involved, share ideas, and hear what’s been happening in our neighbourhood.

Whether you’re a long-time resident or a new neighbour, this meeting is open to everyone who calls Riverside Park home. Come meet your RPCA board, learn about community initiatives, and find out how you can make a difference — from local parks and traffic safety to events and neighbourhood improvements.

What to Expect

• Updates on community projects and upcoming plans
• Opportunities to share your ideas and priorities
• Elections for RPCA Board positions — a great way to get involved!

Our neighbourhood thrives when residents participate — whether that means volunteering for a local event, joining a committee, or simply showing up to share your voice.

So mark your calendar, invite a neighbour, and come see what makes Riverside Park such a great place to live, play, and grow.
