A fifth billboard attacking Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk went up Monday in Old Ottawa South, this one taking a new theme.

After four billboards went up last month with the message “#MelnykOut,” the new one suggests: “#AskMelnyk.” It’s near Bank Street and Riverdale Avenue.

The message is an invitation to Senators fans to ask questions at town hall sessions Melnyk has promised. Like the “#MelnykOut” message, this is the work of Spencer Callaghan, a vocal critic who raised more than $10,000 in a GoFundMe effort for the billboards.

Callaghan claims that management “has lost touch with the fan base and the community.”

Melnyk angered fans this season by hinting that the team might leave Ottawa. He has since scheduled two town hall meetings April 10 and 11.

The earlier billboards went up for two weeks at Ogilvie Road near St. Laurent Boulevard, Hunt Club Road near Paul Benoit Driveway, Bank Street near Riverside Drive and Carling Avenue near Preston Street.
