#WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT

▪️ Babylon Nightclub possibly the next casualty of the pandemic. The club, next to Barrymore's Music Hall, has been put up for lease by the owner, whose family owns the building. In previous lives, Babylon was a strip club and a heavy metal bar. [Ottawa Citizen]

▪️ Atlético Ottawa is flying to Spain to train with parent club Atlético Madrid. The team arrives tomorrow training for a pre-season that is still planned to begin Victoria Day weekend. [Canadian Premier League]

▪️ Councillor Theresa Kavanagh will ask the City to formally oppose two nuclear storage projects up the Ottawa River today. CNL, a consortium led by SNC-Lavalin, wants to decommission a small nuclear plant by entombing it as well as burying nuclear waste. Campaigners fear that the waste will enter the groundwater, perhaps not tomorrow but sometime during the the planned 550 year life of the project. [Ottawa Citizen]
