#WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️Charges have been stayed against 12 people who were protesting for Black and Indigenous lives. The 12 had occupied the intersection of Laurier Avenue W. and Nicholas Street for two days in November until they were arrested by Ottawa Police, hours before a scheduled meeting with the Police Services Board. Stayed does not mean charges have dropped, only that it is not going forward at the moment, but it is rare for Crown Prosecutors to restart proceedings.[Ottawa Citizen] ▪️The City is showing off its recent additions to its art collection in two galleries this week. Entitled Hindsight: 2020 Additions to the City of Ottawa Art Collection, 93 pieces from 61 artists will be shown at Karsh-Masson Gallery from Tuesday, December 15 until Sunday, January 10, 2021 and at City Hall Art Gallery from Tuesday, December 15 until Sunday, February 7, 2021.
