The Ottawa East Community Association is the volunteer run association representing the residents of the area. Monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:15 at the Old Town Hall. We typically do not hold meetings in July and August.
The village's Old Town Hall located at 61 Main St. now serves as the community centre.
Since the amalgamation of the City of Ottawa we also refer to ourselves as the Old Ottawa East Community Association similar to what was done in Old Ottawa South. We have been adding the prefix of Old to our name on a working basis. Throughout this website the terms Ottawa East and Old Ottawa East mean the same thing.
The community association concerns itself primarily with traffic, local development, neighbourhood safety, heritage and social issues. Along with other community associations we are part of the City Centre Coalition, Citizens for Healthy Communities, the Coalition Against Queensway Widening as well as the Federation of Community Associations.

The Community Activities Group (CAG) leads the community recreational, educational and social programs run in the neighbourhood (at the Old Town Hall, from the school facilities and parks).
The community newspaper is called The Mainstreeter. It is published once every two months (except for July and August) and distributed throughout Old Ottawa East.
The mailing address for the OECA (also known as OECA), for CAG and The Mainstreeter is:
