STATS Weather: 🌧️ Rain or snow. High of 3°, low of -3°. Winter storm warning: a chance of up to 15 cm of snow by tomorrow morning Number: $398,900. The price of a renovated Historic church in Hopeville. The former Trinity United Church weirdly has only one bedroom and one bathroom. The stained glass remains. [Inside Ottawa Valley] Ottawan of the Day: Jennifer Thomsen. The Stittsville resident has gone to Calgary to volunteer with Operation Christmas Child’s processing centre, where shoeboxes are packed with items such as toys, school supplies, and toiletries and transported to Central America, West Africa, the Philippines, and Ukraine. [Stittsville Central] Quote: 'We don't have family here. There's a lot of uncertainty and anxiety about how we're going to manage this’ – Alexandra Kowbel, one of many Federal workers who do not know how they will find childcare after being ordered back to the office in the New Year. [CityNews] |
🎄It's too late to order a Historic Logo t-shirt for Christmas delivery Don't get us wrong – we'll still take the order but there is no guarantee that it will arrive before Christmas. Please don't order one for Christmas delivery. But it would make a great gift to ring in the New Year, after the fact. |

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️The Public Service Alliance of Canada is filing a labour relations board complaint over the new Federal civil service hybrid work rules. The Treasury board has mandated that Federal workers are in the office two or three days per week by March 31. The Alliance says changing work rules while a new contract is under negotiation is illegal. [Ottawa Citizen] ▪️Sledders are still using the hill at Mooney's Bay despite the ban. City council voted against to study safe ways to use the hill last month, resulting in people using the hill any way they please. A 14 year-old girl died after hitting a pole last winter, resulting in the complete ban on sledding. [Ottawa Citizen] ▪️The Portrait Gallery of Canada is seeking space in Ottawa. The organization currently has no physical location but is interested in LeBreton Flats. [The Art Newspaper] [Portrait Gallery of Canada] |
