A new city report is touting the success of three community-based crime prevention programs in Ottawa, offering a potential model for downtown groups to reduce criminal activity in Centretown.
Operation Come Home has officially launched its newest social program in the form of a retail boutique called Re:Purpose, which opened Monday at the organization’s renovated Gloucester Street location.

The Canadian Museum of Nature is looking for private developers to build an underground parking garage at its McLeod Street site, which has left some Centretown residents hopeful that the green space on the museum’s west side will be preserved.
A proposed 45-storey condo tower in the southwest corner of Centretown – a high-rise that would be Ottawa’s tallest building if approved – is “inappropriate” in scale and should be redesigned for no more than 30 floors, says Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes.
