▪️The Confederation Line could return in a limited capacity in early November, says City Manager. Steve Kanellakos has written to the City Councillors that seven trains plus a spare could be running  in early November if the trains maintainers, Rideau Transit Group, complete their vehicle inspections. The system normally runs with 15 trains. [CBC]

▪️Ottawa’s landfill will be full within 15 years unless something is done. The City plans to deal with it by encouraging recycling and, more likely, diverting trash to private garbage dumps and averting our eyes. [Ottawa Citizen]
