Let’s go antiquing Sunny September weekends are the perfect time to hit the road for a day of exploration in the rural areas outside Ottawa. If vintage and antiques are your jam, take a day trip to one of myriad little towns outside our city. There are often one or two antique or vintage shops in town where you’ll score treasures for your walls. ?

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️The Ottawa Police wants to know what you think about its priorities. They ask about crime rates, where their priorities should lie, and even if they should be defunded. It's pretty comphrehensive. And they must be taking it seriously because they have created a form! [Ottawa Police] ▪️The lack of school bus drivers has led to route cancellations – mostly in West Carleton and Kanata. The chair of the Ottawa transit commission wants to know why. Eighty-one per cent of the school bus route cuts have been in the West End. [CityNews] ▪️Electric unicycles are now a thing on Ottawa streets. Although, in a work of bureaucratic beauty, one-wheeled electric scooters are banned in the City while their two-wheeled cousins are not. [CTV] |
