HELLO THURSDAY There's a raging dispute here in the office. Ottawa native Martha tells Vancouverite Darren that no true Ottawan would be complaining about the heat. Darren doesn't understand how there can be any other topic, also, being from Vancouver, what is that glowing orb in the sky? While public swimming pools are still closed by Provincial order, Ottawa's three beaches are open to the socially distant: Mooney’s Bay, Westboro Beach and Petrie Island. Although, and again, Darren wonders how the ice cold water is an improvement. Cue Martha: Real Ottawans don't complain about that. If you just need to beat the heat, the CIty has opened four cool-down centres at Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre, the St-Laurent Complex, Hunt Club Riverside Park community centre, and Sandy Hill community centre until 7pm tonight. Aside from the parks, there are a bunch of other, smaller beaches that are open to the public and away from the crowd. Baskin's Beach is one of them in West Ottawa, but you can find others here. We'll see you tomorrow — Martha and Darren |
