SUMMARY:Neighbourwoods
DESCRIPTION:What is Neighbourwoods? The city has very limited information about trees on private property. The purpose of Neighbourwoods is to gather information such as the type\, size\, and health of trees on private property\, as well as in some of our parks to help us plan better diversity in our tree canopy. Volunteers receive free training from forestry professionals to learn how to identify\, measure and assess the health of trees. \nThe Blackburn Neighbourwoods Program is launching its 3rd season. Volunteers will be trained to take inventory of the trees on private property in Blackburn Hamlet. Our next training session with Dr. Andrew Kenny will be May 25 and 26 at the Blackburn Community Centre from 9am to 4pm. \nEveryone is welcome\, even if you can only attend a portion of the training. Bring your lunch and dress for the weather as most of the training is outdoors. \nTo register or for more information about this program please contact Clifton Charie at treeinventory@blackburnhamlet.ca.

SUMMARY:Discovery Café (Free event)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Paul Villeneuve: Breathing Life into Cities: The Importance of Greenness and Walkable Neighbourhoods \nWhen: Thursday\, May 23\, 2024\, at 7:00 PM \nWhere: Blackburn Hamlet Community Centre\, 190 Glen Park Drive \nThe design of cities plays an important role in the health of its residents.  Walkable neighbourhood and access to green spaces has been shown to have direct and indirect health benefits.  Some of these benefits include improved mental health\, healthier babies\, and reduced risks of several diseases. Nature also plays an important role in exposure to air pollution\, noise\, and the effects of urban heat island. Dr. Villeneuve will discuss these topics while drawing on some research he has led\, including Ottawa-based assessments of associations between greenness and physical activity\, environmental exposures studies in and around the Central Experimental Farm\, and the benefits of access to parks during the COVID-pandemic. \nDr. Paul Villeneuve is an environmental and occupational epidemiologist\, and received his PhD in epidemiology from the University of Toronto. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Carleton University. Before joining Carleton\, he was a Senior Research Scientist in the Healthy Environment and Consumer Safety Bureau at Health Canada. His research activities have focused on estimating the impacts of a number of environmental and occupational exposures on human health such as: air pollution\, diesel\, radon\, electromagnetic fields\, cigarettes\, radiation\, and features of the built environment (greenness\, noise\, and walkability). He has led many record linkage studies where occupational or survey data have been linked to national or provincial administrative health data and is currently investigating health effects among Canadian workers exposed to ionizing radiation. He also serves on the editorial boards of the Canadian Journal of Public Health\, and Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention\, and is chairing WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on the Occupational Burden of Disease Estimation. \nAdmission is free and no registration is required. Refreshments will be served. \nPeople of all ages are welcome. \nLooking forward to seeing you! \nQuestions? Please email barbara@blackburnhamlet.ca

SUMMARY:Emergency Preparedness Plan
DESCRIPTION:Science is proving that climate change is affecting the frequency\, duration\, and intensity of many climate-related hazards and disasters occurring around the world\, including Ottawa. In Canada\, 2023 was the warmest summer in 76 years\, dating back to the start of national record-keeping in 1948. Canadians in cities\, including Ottawa\, suffered with some of the worst air quality on Earth. Ottawa experienced five tornadoes\, including an EF1 storm on July 13\, that struck Barrhaven. In April\, Ottawa had nine hours of continuous freezing rain. Many were still without power after two days. There were numerous vehicle accidents; sidewalks were coated with treacherous ice and Ottawa’s light-rail transit went down leaving dozens of commuters waiting hours to be evacuated. These events\, at times\, overwhelmed the city’s emergency services. The city is now requesting their communities act in a larger support role to such events. Blackburn Hamlet has been chosen as one of the first communities for this new concept. \nOn the evening of February 26\, at the Community Hall\, the BCA will be holding a community event to highlight the Blackburn Hamlet’s Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP). This event is a joint effort between the City of Ottawa’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the BCA and will include representation from community stakeholders\, such as police\, fire\, medical\, and businesses. \nA more detailed review of the night will be provided in the upcoming Banar. Queries should be directed to Don Kelly at safety@blackburnhamlet.ca.

SUMMARY:Discovery Café (Free event)
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear Family: Growing up in Ottawa at the beginning of the nuclear age \nAuthor Jean Van Loon is a life-long resident of Ottawa. Her poems\, stories and reviews have appeared in literary magazines across the country\, most recently in the Queen’s Quarterly and (forthcoming) The New Quarterly. She is a graduate of Carleton\, Queen’s\, Humber Graduate School of Writing\, and UBC’s MFA program in Creative Writing. \nJean will read from her second poetry collection\, Nuclear Family (McGill-Queen’s 2022)\, winner of the 2023 Ottawa Book Award for fiction. The book’s details of 1940s and 50s Ottawa and the role Canada played in the U.S. nuclear development program may invite discussion of other people’s memories of the time. \nJean presented her first book a few years ago at Discovery Cafe. That book (a finalist in 2019 for the same Ottawa award) was Building on River (Cormorant Books\, 2018). Its evocation of the life and times of J.R. Booth\, greatest of the Ottawa Valley lumber kings\, provoked many audience recollections. \nAdmission is free and refreshments will be served. No registration is required.

SUMMARY:Discovery Café (Free event)
DESCRIPTION:Education\, Society\, and Generative AI \nA number of artificial intelligence (AI) programs came out in the early 2020s that generate images (like Midjourney)\, music\, and text (like ChatGPT).
