HELLO OTTAWA |
Sorry, usually on Wednesdays we do our Food + Drink roundup but we must dash out to pick up a turkey to celebrate Yanksgiving with our visiting American cousins. We‘ll do the full foodie roundup tomorrow.
We‘re sorry to report that your chocolate Advent calendar chances are getting smaller every hour. (It turns out that if you want to explode your inbox, just give away treats.) Martha‘s mom will draw one name each for the following Purdy’s chocolate advent calendars on Friday morning. • Santa's Lodge Advent Calendar: email chocodraw@theottawan.com • Braille Advent Calendar: email brailledraw@theottawan.com • Vegan Advent Calendar: email vegandraw@theottawan.com – Martha and Darren

BUT, ONE MORE THING ... |
The City has closed the Chief William Commanda Bridge for winter. The incredibly popular pedestrian crossing over the Ottawa River between the Bayview transit station and the southern tip of Gatineau Park opened last summer. The City’s public works and recreation department said of the 143-year old former train crossing, ‘Due to the bridge’s steel structure and timber plank surface, the City is unable to safely undertake any plowing, salting or grit operations’. On Twitter, @DvdHam asks if anyone has the grant application to Infrastructure Canada from the City for funding, as the motion asking for it said the bridge ‘would serve as an interprovincial link for commuting and recreational cyclists, cross-country skiers and visitors...’ So, Federal employee ottawan readers, does anyone have the William Commanda Bridge Bridge reuse project (ICIP PTIS project 59795) application? Send it @DVDHam and to us at ‘hello@theottawan.com’. |
