Mayor Jim Watson, with Councillors Tim Tierney and Jean Cloutier, recognized Tim McIntyre and Streetcar 696 volunteers’ dedication to the community at today’s City Council meeting by presenting them with the Mayor’s City Builder Award.
Tim McIntyre has dedicated numerous hours to giving back to his community and those in need. Every year, Mr. McIntyre leads DufFest, a community festival that raises money for local charities. In 2021, the event raised almost $4,000 for the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa.
As an active member of the local hockey community, Mr. McIntyre also hosts the North Gloucester Men’s Hockey League Annual Winter Classic. The outdoor hockey tournament raises money for breast cancer awareness and raised almost $5,000 in 2022.
Every Wednesday night, a group of volunteers comes together at the OC Transpo garage at 164 Colonnade Road to work on bringing back a piece of Ottawa's transit history: Streetcar 696. Since 2000, the team has been dedicated to restoring Streetcar 696, the last remaining 600-series streetcar that serviced Ottawa between 1915 and 1959. Their goal is to one day run Streetcar 696 on one of the city’s remaining tracks for residents and tourists visiting Ottawa.
Streetcar 696 was acquired in 1959 by the Canadian Railway Museum as part of its collection in Saint Constant, Québec. A group of volunteers brought Streetcar 696 back to Ottawa in 1989. After a callout to volunteers, a small group of rail enthusiasts came forward to offer their expertise and the Streetcar 696 Restoration Project went into full swing.
The Mayor’s City Builder Award is a civic honour, created to recognize an individual, group or organization that, through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place today and for the future. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, inspiring charitable work, community building or other exemplary achievements.
Individuals, groups or organizations may be nominated by Members of Council or the public.
