Welcome to the CCA Website

Wait a minute. Carlington? Where's that?
In the City of Ottawa, capital of Canada, Carlington is a residential district just west of the Central Experimental Farm. Its boundaries are:

A map of Carlington is provided on this website.

And the Association?
The Carlington Community Association (CCA) is an incorporated non-profit organization maintained by volunteers who live in Carlington and care about what goes on in their community and city.

What does the Carlington Community Association do?
It provides a forum for discussion of local and municipal issues, a focus of dialogue with our city councillor, (and sometimes our federal and provincial politicians as well), and a framework for neighbourhood projects, activities and social events.

What about meetings?
We have an annual general meeting in May at which we elect a president and board of directors for the year. Other general meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of the month, except during the summer. Anyone may attend general meetings but only members may propose a motion and vote. The board of directors may meet more often to plan the agenda, organize projects and keep up to date with developments, but the directors may only take a stand on issues that have been discussed and voted on by the membership at a general meeting.

Who are the members of the Association?
Any resident of Carlington can be a member of our association. Currently, the membership fee is $10 per year. Membership is a way of showing your support for the objectives of the Association even if you don't want to volunteer or attend meetings.
