The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing planned work in the identified areas, which will result in water supply disruption. This critical maintenance work is done on our water supply infrastructure to benefit customers. This work forms part of the Water and Sanitation Directorate’s proactive infrastructure maintenance and upgrade programme, which ensures the future continuity of water supply by addressing the issue of unaccounted-for water. Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to take note of the work that will take place and prepare accordingly by storing enough water in advance, as a precautionary measure, in clean, sealed containers. The water supply to these areas will be shut off temporarily, from 08:00 until 18:00 on Tuesday, 18 February 2025.  This will enable the safe installation of a temporary bypass on the main water supply to the area.  The water supply to the area along Govan Mbeki Drive between Wetton Circle and Hanover Park Avenue, including the Lansdowne Corner Shopping Mall, the Astron Service Station, and the vicinity of Fynn Close will be shut off from 08:00 until 22:00 on Thursday, 20 February 2025, to connect the newly-installed pipeline to the existing water supply infrastructure. This will allow for the installation of a control valve on the relocated water main to accommodate the current IRT road construction.

Sections Cape Town has given the go ahead for land release for affordable housing development in Lansdowne and Ottery competitive tendering process pending Council authorization Both vacant and underutilised sites have a potential yield of plus 680 social housing units The 1.6ha Ottery site (below) is located near the key arterial route of Ottery Road and Sauer roads with the potential to develop 375 social housing units in a two to four-storey development The 1.4ha Lansdowne site is on the corner of Smuts and Ruby Roads near Imam Haroun Road yielding the potential for 308 social housing units over four storeys To assist developers viably maximise affordable housing yields the municipality’s guidelines will be used to discount the land sale price which has an estimated combined market value of R56 million The sale of these properties will also include a clause to ensure the land is used for affordable housing by allowing the properties to revert to City ownership if this objective is not met In addition to the legislated public participation period the City held open days in late August 2024 the parcels will undergo a rezoning process and the public place status of portions of the sites will be closed where applicable Tamie Aubin’s decision to focus on pediatric physiotherapy (PT) came when she took a course in PT university with Johanna Darrah who co-authored one of the standardized assessment tools still used today It was just over 16 years ago that Aubin and her family moved from northern Alberta to Ontario.  “I wanted to work in a children’s treatment centre,” she said She got a part-time position at Lansdowne Children’s Centre Aubin is now wrapping up her time as the Occupational Therapy (OT) and PT Services Manager at Lansdowne while also working in the new role as the Director of Client Services as Jennifer Huxley retires.  She was my manager when I was a physiotherapist We have definitely built a relationship along those years,” Aubin said adding that she’s been continually learning throughout her time at Lansdowne from Huxley and previous service directors.  “There’s been a lot that I’ve been able to glean from working with everybody and appreciated all the valuable mentorship from everybody along the way.”  One of the most effective ways Lansdowne staff have had to learn from each other over the years was actually thanks to Aubin: the establishment of the Holistic Integration Teams (HITs).  When she and her family first moved to Ontario Aubin was in the middle of completing her Masters in Rehabilitation Science she looked at how services were provided at Lansdowne and how they could be enhanced She put forward the idea of the centre forming teams of staff members across multiple disciplines to work collaboratively in a transdisciplinary model so that – among other benefits – families wouldn’t have to repeat the same information multiple times to different service providers and multiple staff could be part of one appointment to reduce the number of times families would have to come to the centre.  and now “It still is going strong as one of our best practice models of services for our families,” Aubin said.  She noted that multiple staff have told her over the years that they appreciate the cross-discipline collaborative learning that happens as a member of a HITs team.  The fact that HITs teams were able to be piloted in the first place speaks to what Aubin sees as one of Lansdowne’s greatest strengths.  “We are open to looking at how we can support families in ways that allow our staff to think outside the box – of course within our best practice mandates,” she said.  That’s an approach that she fully intends to bring forward into her new role.  “It’s more of that bigger picture; how do we continue to support our families in providing that type of best practice solution focused model of service in all of our programs?”  There are plenty of arenas to explore that question Community and Social Services directives to provide a tiered model of service and in looking at how AI tools might be utilized.  Aubin noted that in the early days of the HITs teams “We started it out as a pilot; we evaluated it and we tried different things to look at changes and then evaluated it again.”  Aubin said her focus will be determining what’s already working well and exploring how to build on that existing success while also “continuing to ensure that we use our best practice philosophies; working collaboratively with all the programs; and maintaining the partnerships with our communities Because she knows that “even though my hands aren’t the ones that are there in a physio session,” with a client I’m still making a difference for the child and the family.”  That’s been one of the main driving forces that has kept Aubin at Lansdowne throughout the years;

However, she spent a vast majority of her career in Philadelphia arts circles. Most recently, Silzle was the executive director of the Philadelphia Cultural Fund She recalled pounding away on her laptop, desperately working to preserve Philadelphia’s arts community amid a period of COVID-induced cuts to the city budget and realized I needed a happy hour,” she said which included hanging out with friends and having cocktails.” Silzle, like many others, yearned for connection — any connection. America has had a loneliness problem even before the pandemic. Increased loneliness is also associated with poor health outcomes like anxiety She felt isolated and scared during the lockdown She sent an email to her neighbors during the morning of March 23 any interest in a social distancing happy hour Thursday night I’m mostly working from home and would greatly enjoy seeing your faces reading an excerpt from the original email her neighbors wanted to get out of the house They thought it was a great idea even if it meant bringing lawn chairs down to their respective curbs and yelling to each other across the street The first happy hour adhered to 6 feet of social distancing and then some “Steve would be across the street and we just shouted at each other And that was just our sanity because it was COVID and we couldn’t do anything So it was our chance to see other people and not feel so isolated.” Gabe Mahalik is a youth pastor and wedding DJ but you might know him better from his viral dj_gabereal social media reels posing as a fake Philadelphia sports radio caller the neighbors would find a way to see each other even if it meant switching the day from a Thursday to a Friday “I usually provide the fire,” Larry Harris but it’s a little too windy today and I decided against it Fullerton told married couple Kelly Jennings They’d been living about two blocks over in Lansdowne for more than two decades but somebody from this group that’s here tonight meets every week,” Jennings said remembered when she first encountered the group I ran by and people were having cocktails and I thought it was great that like the retired people were out having happy hour,” Zink said also makes an occasional  appearance from time to time who walks with his wife Kathy near their home on Windermere Terrace was pleasantly surprised when he and Kathy got to know about the weekly social “We would hear this ruckus — what we thought was a ruckus — we thought they were teenagers but we found out that it wasn’t,” Richard Louis said “We didn’t really socialize with anybody until this happened and this has been the best thing since sliced bread,” Louis said As the pandemic progressed and vaccines became readily available the neighbors got closer both literally and figuratively they moved their chairs into Silzle’s driveway They adopted themed drink nights and even threw a block party but we talk about what life really means,” Louis said “And I think that that has really saved a lot of people.” Silzle thought people would get tired of the weekly get-together She offered to make it an every other week affair The concept of talking to neighbors is far from new. Philadelphia’s stoop culture is well-documented and applauded He recalled community members constantly being outside and speaking to one another “This was before air conditioning and everybody was always outside with their chairs,” Federico said All the kids played in the street and all the parents were on either side of the sidewalks talking and laughing and having a good time When he moved to Lansdowne more than 50 years ago People were friendly but they kept to themselves He also attributed the shift over the years to the introduction of air conditioning and the advent of the internet Beating the heat is much easier with an AC unit than sitting on the porch FaceTime has substituted the need for some to have in-person interaction “This represents more of a throwback to when I grew up where the community was very together and very open,” Federico said “It’s been real like the old time neighborhood,” she said When Chronister and Jennings shared an apartment in the city “It’s all Barb just being bored as hell during COVID [that] just got us started,” Chronister said Silzle retired as executive director of the Philadelphia Cultural Fund in April 2022 She doesn’t take ownership of the curbside happy hour The get-together in her driveway continues whether she’s home or not she envisioned the idea spreading to other blocks in Lansdowne “I think all of us feel like we’re not alone anymore,” Silzle said The free WHYY News Daily newsletter delivers the most important local stories to your inbox WHYY is your source for fact-based, in-depth journalism and information.

A City plan to auction off a 10-football-pitch-size parcel of public land in Lansdowne for low-cost housing has residents fuming About 100 residents voiced their opposition to the plan during a public meeting at Vera Autism School late last month has been advertised for public auction by the City mayoral committee member for human settlements Carl Pophaim said consultants had proposed building 289 social housing units on the property but the concept design could change depending on the developer’s proposed changes The City has noted that the property may only be sold for social housing and it would revert to the City if not developed accordingly Lansdowne Rondebosch East Neighbourhood Watch (LanRoe) chairperson Rashard Davids accused the City of not consulting residents about the plan “They did not consider us in discussing what type of amenities are needed for the area.” Many residents would rather see the land used for a social club The site is opposite Windsor High and near Windsor Preparatory School the busy Imam Haron Road and the Lansdowne railway station More than 1000 people could move into the proposed 289 units aggravating already bad traffic congestion said: “The City is already making plans to upgrade the MyCiTi bus service in Imam Haron road Civic Association Rondebosch East (CARE) chairperson Hylton Mitchell conceded there was a critical need for affordable housing but he too accused the City of failing to let residents have their say A traffic-impact study should be done and made public so residents could gauge the impact of the proposed housing development said they were interested in buying some of the land for church parking or a youth centre “We are disappointed that the City showed no transparency in their plans for the land.” Low-cost housing could make the busy traffic in the area much worse Mr Pophaim said a traffic-impact study was being done and advertising the development proposal was the first step in a series of public consultations “It is only the initial step in the disposal process which is a statutory requirement for the City to advertise the intended sale which is based on the principles of public participation.” Residents have until Sunday May 12 to comment Email Anathi.Dywili@capetown.gov.za or call 021 400 9825 or go to Have Your Say on the City’s website and select Immovable Property notices CanadaNewsSearch for two young children missing in rural Nova Scotia to resume SundayBy The Canadian PressPublished: May 03, 2025 at 7:07PM EDT Twitter feed ©2025 BellMedia All Rights Reserved Terenure’s highly rated 19-year-old Austrian-born outhalf Casper Gabriel announced his arrival on the Energia All-Ireland League scene with a stunning cameo off the bench to help seal a 28-22 win over Lansdowne in a repeat of last season’s Division 1A semi-final. Terenure were leading 23-22 with 12 minutes to go when their two 19-year-old debutant halfbacks combined, Chris O’Connor moving the ball to the blindside off a back-pedalling scrum inside the home 10-metre line and Gabriel, with his second touch at AIL level, offloading outrageously to release Craig Adams. The left-winger exchanged passes with O’Connor before scoring and the win was effectively sealed when Lansdowne opted for a scrum from a penalty seven minutes out and 23-year-old prop Marcus Hanan, making his first appearance since Terenure won the AIL final two seasons ago after a neck operation, won a relieving penalty. The classy Lansdowne centre Andy Marks had scored two early tries to put Lansdowne 12-0 ahead, before Chris Cosgrave converted Adam La Grue’s try and landed two long-range penalties to put the home side 13-12 up at the break. An intercept try by Lansdowne’s debutant 19-year-old winger Todd Lawlor put them back in front but following another Cosgrave penalty Henry McErlean set up a try by lock David Maher. Cue the O’Connor-Gabriel cameo. Something also had to give at Temple Hill where the game was brought forward to 1.30pm before rain of biblical proportions arrived. By then Cork Con had eased into 20-0 interval lead through tries by ex-Sevens winger Seán French and scrumhalf Adam Maher. Matthew Bowen added a third, and James Taylor kicked the rest as they ended Young Munster’s unbeaten start with a 25-5 win. This left Clontarf alone atop 1A as they recorded a third bonus-point win away to UCD in what was a highly competitive affair until the visitors’ power game enabled them to pull away and win 30-15. City of Armagh played the sodden conditions better than Garryowen in earning a slightly surprising but deserved 13-6 win at Dooradoyle, while Ballynahinch had five tries by half-time to lead 31-7 before St Mary’s again rallied to return with two bonus points from a 36-33 defeat. Despite winning one match the newly-promoted St Mary’s sit fourth. Blackrock had a very significant 35-34 win at Ollie Campbell Park to end Old Belvedere’s unbeaten start, meaning Nenagh’s 22-22 draw against Old Wesley at nearby Energia Park leaves them as the only unbeaten side in 1B. Corinthians, Barnhall, Cashel and Instonians continue to set their rip-roaring pace in 2A. Each earned a third bonus-point win, the pick of them being Corinthians’ 63-23 win in Navan, where the talented Seán Naughton converted all nine tries, including a brace by fellow Ireland under-20 John Devine. In a reprise of last season’s women’s final Railway Union gained a measure of revenge with a 19-18 win over champions UL Bohs in a game that was moved to Annacotty as a penalty try and a try by Claire Boles sealed a 19-18 comeback win.

Lansdowne who has been elected through 2028 which would mark a decade of work on the council for the English teacher and Congregation Rodeph Shalom member he has been working to represent the local Jewish population just as much as he has his constituents the largely non-Jewish Lansdowne community expressed mixed sentiments towards the events and the area’s Jewish community As one of a small number of Jewish residents an elected official and a supporter of Israel’s right to exist Hover quickly became a target for much of the outrage People said derogatory things to Hover on the street at council meetings and all over social media He said that other area Jews reported similar incidents “After some absolutely horrible antisemitic statements were made in a public meeting it was to the point that I thought maybe I need to move somewhere safer,” he said While Lansdowne’s makeup is largely not Jewish Hover has spent plenty of time in more Jewish areas like Lower Merion or Elkins Park and considered if things wouldn’t be easier there my blood [started to] boil because I thought “There are people who know what they’re saying is offensive and are doubling down on it But there are others who are just doing it to be a part of the bandwagon of the moment and they don’t realize what they’re doing and how troubling it can be.” he decided that something had to be done to teach those who are simply misinformed about their Jewish neighbors Hover reached out to the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia they decided to celebrate Chanukah in Lansdowne in a public way “One of the first comments we got was from a Jewish person who said ‘I didn’t realize anybody else was Jewish in this area,’” Hover said “The lack of visibility is here and I think that part of that is that the voices have been silenced and somewhat erased A lot of people were just happy to attend a celebration happening here Usually they have to travel [somewhere else in the area] so this is really the first time that it has happened in Eastern Delaware County.” there was blowback for something as benign as celebrating the festival of lights someone scolded Hover and the city in a public comment because of the event’s ties to the Federation “Nobody would make that statement about putting up a Christmas tree,” Hover said We should be celebrating other people’s holidays especially in an area that’s very diverse like the one we live in.” Hover said that the next steps are to continue to bridge the gap with low-stakes events like the Chanukah party but also help the community understand the issues that really matter He said that he and the Federation have been working to plan education outreach efforts about antisemitism and creating a sense of inclusion and safety for all members of the community The Federation said in a statement that the event was a “grassroots triumph” that showed achdus especially considering the efforts to fund the event through crowdfunding More than 40 people attended and Hover said that Rabbi Nathan Martin of Beth Israel of Media and Rabbi Michal Morris Kamil of Congregation Beth El-Ner Tamid were particularly instrumental and Hover said that he is firmly committed to making sure that everyone within that square is accepting and loving of each other “This event [showed] the beauty and diversity of the Philadelphia community but also Jews from East Asia and North Africa and other places,” Hover said [email protected] and website in this browser for the next time I comment Tucked away in the Pauri Garhwal region of Uttarakhand Lansdowne is a sleepy
