Nepean-Carleton M.P. Pierre Poilievre, Mayor Jim Watson and Gloucester–South-Nepean Councillor Steve Desroches, were pleased to celebrate the completion of the $35 Million Earl Armstrong Road Widening Project from Limebank Road to River Road.

“The widening of Earl Armstrong Road is an important project for the people of Riverside South because it will ensure smooth traffic flow upon the opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge next year,” said Poilievre.

Once again, the spirit of our community shone as we kicked off the Christmas Season with record breaking attendance at the annual RSCA Pancake Breakfast with Santa and evening Sleigh Rides on December 3rd, 2011.

Residents of Riverside South are showing their festive spirit with the decorating of their homes, inside and out.  The RSCA held its annual Christmas Lighting Contest on the evening of December 3rd.  The RSCA is pleased to announce the winners of first, second and third as selected by RSCA President Scott Hodge and City of Ottawa Councillor Steve Desroches.

Each of the three winners enjoyed a gift basket comprised of delicious array of Godiva chocolates generously donated by the local Scotiabank Branch in Riverside South, and a certificate provided by Councillor Desroches.

With the first few snowfalls under our belts, it is only a matter of time before the shorter days and the cold temperatures bring the conditions necessary to start establishing our out door ice rinks.

Wintertime in our Riverside South community is made much more enjoyable because of generous volunteers whose time and effort make possible the ice rinks at Four Seasons, Spratt, and Mountain Meadows Parks.

Volunteers are critical to the success of such winter time pleasures, and our out door rink program is seeking reliable volunteers willing to learn how to create and maintain our local ice surfaces for the coming season.
