Neighbourhood Watch

NOTICE to all South Village Residents 

Residents should be aware that there is a demarcation of authorities between the Covenants and Restrictions associated to title of properties in South Village and City of Ottawa Bylaws as determined by South Village’s zoning.

For example:

  • Storage of RVs on property (other than in the driveway) is an SVOA matter
  • Parking RVs in driveways is a bylaw matter
  • Construction debris on properties is a bylaw matter
  • Public safety concerns (example: venturing out on thin ice, speeding vehicles), are police
  • Infringement to the lawful enjoyment of property by others (examples: causing a
  • disturbance by
  • shouting/swearing, mischief to property) are police matters
  • Trespassing on SVOA Common Assets (examples: community centre parking lot, Village Lake
  • beach) are police matters.

Please report any inappropriate behavior, actual or suspected, which you encounter within South Village to the Ottawa Police Service – not SVOA Communications. It is only through doing so that assignment of

police patrols is determined, as it is based upon such incidence reporting and the reporting determines patrol patterns.
