JEFF
LIEPER
COUNCILLOR
FOR OTTAWA’S
KITCHISSIPPI
WARD
Kitchissippi is a vibrant, active and cooperative ward, due in no small
part to the vital role that our community centres play in bringing
together neighbours and neighbourhoods. Dovercourt Recreation
Centre continues to be a hub for the community and an important
space for building connections and having those meaningful
interactions that guide and shape our exciting ward. The strength of
Kitchissippi can be found in our communities.
As councillor for Kitchissippi I am very proud of the role that
Dovercourt Recreation Association serves in our ward and of
the unique relationship that it represents between the city and
community.
Le quartier Kitchissippi est un quartier actif et dynamique, où les gens
collaborent, et ce, en bonne partie grâce au rôle vital que jouent nos
centres communautaires dans le rapprochement entre les voisins et
les voisinages. Le Centre récréatif Dovercourt demeure un carrefour
communautaire et un lieu important pour ce qui est de nouer des
liens et de susciter des interactions significatives qui guident et
façonnent notre passionnant quartier. Ce sont nos communautés qui
font la force de Kitchissippi.
En qualité de conseiller de Kitchissippi, je suis très fier du rôle que le
association récréatif Dovercourt joue dans notre quartier et des liens
uniques qu’il contribue à tisser entre la Ville et la communauté.
