Needles being found at Laroche Park
Covid is not the only pandamic. MCA has reports of needles found at Laroche Park so keep your eyes open. Keep a needle pickup kit in your car/home. Dispose of needles in Hintonburg at Causeway Centre on O'Meara. Report the date/location of every needle found at: NeedleReporting@ottawa.ca. Do not put needles in the garbage. If you do not have the tools, call 311 or flag down a City vehicle as they may have a needle pickup container.
