Ottawa reopens a little bit more Welcome to the first day of full houses. The Province is now allowing restaurants, gyms, casinos, and other places that have required proof-of-full-vaccination to open to full capacity. Previously, they had been limited to 50 per cent. Other places that did not require proof of vaccination, like museums, galleries, places of worship, and personal care business, can also open to full capacity if they start requiring proof of full vaccination. Assuming that COVID-19 rates do not increase – a big assumption, granted – the Province says that all COVID-19 restrictions will be removed by March, including mask mandates. And, again if things go well, places that require proof-of-full vaccination may be able to stop asking in January. Also Knitters and crocheters looking for a quick but meaningful project can participate in the Goulborn Museum’s “Poppies of Goulborn” exhibit. The installation is a huge net festooned with knitted and crocheted red and black poppies, and will be displayed on the building’s exterior from the end of October until November 12th. The museum supplies instructions, and they advise the use of synthetic yarn that can withstand being in the elements.

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️Ottawa Bylaw is getting an increasing number of calls about residential chickens. Chickens are banned in the urban and suburban parts of the City. Some people even had roosters, which, to be honest, probably gives the game away pretty quickly. [Ottawa Citizen] ▪️Ontarians are going to Gatineau for eye exams. Ontario optometrists have withdrawn their services from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan due to a dispute with the Province over pay. But the law does not allow for those eye services to be paid with private insurance, so people have been trying to book the exams in Gatineau. [CBC] ▪️The memorial to residential school children on Parliament Hill has been taken down. The spontaneous memorial was made mainly of children's shoes and toys. Elders of the Algonquin Anishinabeg First Nation will determine which items are kept by the City for historical purposes, kept by the elders for safekeeping, or respectfully disposed. [CBC] |
