CCOC hosted the launch of the City of Ottawa’s new recycling bag initiative at our 464 Metcalfe property on September 2, 2015.
Several decades have passed since Carl Dow impatiently waited to learn how to fly, and Beaver Barracks has been transformed.
While he may be new to the position of President, Bill Rooney is no stranger to the CCOC Board.
I started volunteering with CCOC in summer 2013. I was new to Ottawa and looking for opportunities to get involved in the community.
Toby and David moved into their CCOC triplex on Flora Street over 33 years ago. Since then they have been active members of their community on many levels.
Twenty-two years ago CCOC started a pretty cool thing: giving away flowers to tenants. Our original motivations were pretty pragmatic: it was cheaper for us to buy all our tenants some pretty annuals than it was to hire professional landscapers.
CCOC built our first building at 50 James Street in 1979. This five storey building with twenty-two apartments has nine planter boxes where tenants grow vegetables, herbs and flowers.
