STATS

Weather: ☀️ Sunny. High of 29°, low of 9°. 

Number: 90 minutes. The time it took for paramedics to reach an injured cyclist in Gatineau Park because there was no one from the National Capital Commission to let them in. The cyclist had broken ribs and a collapsed lung. [CBC

Ottawans of the Day: Sam Benes and Dayna Xiao. The two Merivale Grade 9 students won a contest to be Mayor for a Day. In their 24 hours on the job, nobody occupied the city, no O-Trains derailed, nor was the Ottawa Hospital moved to an unsuitable location – an excellent term in office for the both of them. [CTV]

Quote: ‘You understand then. This is going to be just as bad as Vietnam if we let it go’ – What ‘Ray’ told Vietnam-born journalist Judy Trinh when she asked him about taking part in the Trucker siege. [Ottawa Magazine]

COVID-19 NEWS

In January of this year it started housing 70 people overnight. Plans are to return the facility to an ice-rink and community centre in the Autumn. [Ottawa Citizen]

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT

▪️Yikes – it looks like all of Ottawa is in a high tick area this year. The Province has released a map of where Lyme disease is prevalent in Ontario. Warmer winters mean the ticks survive the winter and continue their Eastward march. [Lyme disease Map] [What do about Ticks]

▪️RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki says the abandonment of Ottawa to the Truckers was not a failure of policing. Lucki was being questioned by Parliamentarians at a special joint committee investigating the invocation of the Emergencies Act. Senators and MPs on the panel questioned this attitude. [CBC]

▪️The City orders repairs to the Somerset Building and the bill to be sent to the delinquent owner. The heritage building on Bank Street partially collapsed 15 years ago and is considered an eyesore. Last year, the City delayed a decision on another project by the building's owner until he fixed Somerset House. The owner did no meaningful repairs. [CBC]

▪️Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee Donna Blackburn tried to re-open bringing back police into the school system at yesterday's meeting. The Board ended the programme of having Ottawa Police posted to its schools, last year, due to longstanding complaints of police treating some students unfairly. The other trustees were not interested in reopening the issue. [Ottawa Citizen]
