We are an enthusiastic group of individuals who live or do business within the area bounded by Bronson Avenue on the west, the Rideau Canal on the east, the Queensway on the south, and the Ottawa River on the north.

Among our objectives is to maintain and improve the residential and community character of Centretown and to improve the interaction between groups and residents within the neighbourhood. The CCCA holds meetings at City Hall on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M., and the public is welcome to attend.

CCCA memberships are available for the modest amount of $5 per year. Members are entitled to speak at all meetings of the Association, to run for the Board of Directors and to exercise one vote at the AGM. The very best part of membership is that it allows you to become actively involved in your community.

Current areas of committee focus include tree planting and greenspace improvement, traffic calming, neighbourhood crime and safety, implications of the new zoning by-law, development of the Bronson Escarpment, and identification of a location for the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library. A monthly report of CCCA activities appears in the Centretown Buzz, Centretown’s community newspaper.

The CCCA objectives as stated in the Letters Patent, incorporating the Association, dated September 8, 1976 are:

To maintain and improve the residential and community character of Centretown, in the City of Ottawa ;

To provide support for Centretown citizens in striving towards the attainment of objectives which are compatible with the aims of the Association;
