The Ottawa Police Service is actively supporting
the Ontario Block Parent® decision to close the Block
Parent® Program in Ottawa and is requesting that all Block
Parent® window signs be returned to Ottawa Police by
January 31, 2009. The police service is working closely
with Ontario Block Parent® to implement further sign recall
procedures in order to retrieve any unreturned signs in
February. Further information is available at
ottawapolice.ca.
Block Parent® Window Sign Recall
Block Parent® window signs should be returned to the
nearest police station by the end of January in one of the
following ways:
In Person: A full listing of police stations
is available on line at ottawapolice.ca or in the Red
Pages in the front of your Bell phone book.
By Mail: Signs may also be returned by mail to: Ottawa
Police Service, ATTN: Community Development, P.O. Box 9634,
Station T, Ottawa, ON K1G 6H5.
Pick-up: If a sign cannot be returned in person or by
mail, residents can contact the Community Development
Section by phone to arrange for pick up by calling 613-236-
1222, ext. 6417.
The Ottawa Police Service is committed to community-police
partnerships, which are key in developing and maintaining
programs such as the Block Parent® Program. Unfortunately,
since 2001, local support and leadership initiatives for
the program declined. While the program has been on hold,
the Ottawa Police Service invested significant time and
resources to work in partnership with the few remaining
Ottawa Block Parent® representatives to renew the program.
Unfortunately, attempts to renew the community driven
program have been unsuccessful, as community interest has
dwindled significantly over the years.
On October 2, 2008, the Ontario Block Parent® Program sent
a letter to all registered Block Parent® volunteers in
Ottawa indicating that the program was closed. To assist in
the closure, volunteers have been asked to return their
window signs to the nearest police station.
The Ottawa Chapter of Block Parent® has provided more than
twenty years of community service in Ottawa. Volunteers who
kept the program viable during that time should be
commended for their important work and years of dedication.
