#WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT

▪️The National Capital Commission getting ready to open the Canal – but asks that only neighbours use it. Keeping with state of emergency orders, skating on the Canal can be considered exercise (which is okay) but travelling to it would be considered non-essential (which is not okay). [CTV

▪️The City wants your opinion on winter maintenance. The City has 12,900 kilometres of roads and 2,300 kilometres of sidewalks and pathways under its care, and different rules for plowing depending on depth of snow and location. The City is looking for your opinion on what needs to change, if anything. (And remember the rule, they actually want to know because they set up a form) [Ottawa Citizen]  [City of Ottawa]

▪️Ottawa startup ReWind receives US $15 million investment. The company provides backup services of financial data for customer of Shopify. As Shopify has grown, so has ReWind, now with 22,000 customers. [Ottawa Citizen]
