Natalie expresses her view in a letter to the editor: ''Do not close Rideau High School''
November 2009
As a Manor Park resident and an urban Realtor specializing in the catchment area, I find it appalling that this local school would possibly close. (...) Perhaps a really serious review of ALL school boundaries, and how to make them work better, needs to be done.

Neighbourhood Watch - Make the right call
May 29, 2009
The Ottawa Police Service is noticing that more neighbours from Manor Park are calling to report suspicious individuals, bothersome noises and thefts from their property. These calls are NOT bothersome, and assist the police in identifying areas where there may be increasing incidents of crime or other reasons that substantiate the need for increased policing, or police presence by other means, like bike patrols instead of squad cars.
Here is a one page sheet that you can distribute to your Watch Members so that they will know who to call and when to call when an incident occurs.
Don't be shy about calling the Police, even if it is to report something that happened a while ago, as the Police cannot return stolen property that they have recovered if they have never been informed that it went missing if the first place.
