Overview

Emerald Woods Residents' Association (EWRA)

Established in 1985 while the Emerald Woods community was still under construction, the Emerald Woods Residents' Association (EWRA) initially served as a collective voice for residents to address concerns with the builder, Tartan Homes. Today, the EWRA represents the area extending south from Bridle Path Drive to the NCC farm. For more details on the association's coverage, visit About > Our Area.

Once these early concerns were resolved, EWRA evolved into a social and recreational association, organizing community activities that have continued for over 35 years—thanks to dedicated volunteers.

Our strong community spirit, ongoing activities, and long-standing resident engagement set our neighbourhood apart. Membership is just $20 per household per year.

In recent years, EWRA has taken an active role in local advocacy, working with the City of Ottawa on development, transit, security, and traffic issues. We are recognized as a key voice in South Ottawa, engaging with Councillor Jessica Bradley and city officials when needed.

EWRA is built on community participation—stay involved and help make Emerald Woods a great place to live!
