Ottawan Alexandrian of the Day: Luc Chénier. Chénier is the CEO of the Kyiv Post, the English-language newspaper that continues to publish in Ukraine. In a non-mini ottawan we'd probably consider Alexandria just slightly out of our jurisdiction but the rules are off this week. [Ottawa Citizen]

Quote: ‘Now I was walking around the world with no clue if it was 2 or 3 p.m. I even showed up to my Apple appointment 45 minutes early because I was worried I would be late. The woman then proceeded to tell me to come back in 20 minutes, so I wandered around the mall and frequently asked shoppers for the time.’ – Carleton student Gail Pop on living without a smartphone for three days[Capital Current]

▪️You don't have to throw out your Christmas tree – some organizations will accept it. Some mentioned that use the trees for boundaries are the Fisher Park outdoor rink, the National Capital Commission for the Skateway, and the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail. The Vanderlaand Barnyard Zoo also accepts them for the inmates to much upon. [Ottawa Citizen]
