From the meeting
At its November 10, 2026 meeting, the Ottawa Public Library Board received a report on the Sunnyside Branch lifecycle renewal and service continuity. The branch, opened in 1951 and about 12,848 square feet, needs roof replacement, window replacement, masonry restoration, and related building-envelope work, with possible sanitary infrastructure work. The report said the work is scheduled for 2027, would likely require a temporary closure of about six months, and that a later report would be needed if a temporary location is identified.
Decision recorded on 2026-11-10.
