HELLO OTTAWA

Ottawa Bluesfest has released the 2023 line-up. 

Coming to LeBreton Flats in July are famous blues performers Shania Twain, Weezer, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Death Cab for Cutie, Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons, Charlotte Cardin, Pitbull, The Smile and Fleet Foxes. Plus 59 other acts.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 am. 

❄ It's a snow day tomorrow so it's no parking between 10 am to 7 pm Thursday. Some City parking lots and community centres are available if you don't have a place to park. As always, get out before 7 pm or face a ticket. 

🏒 Correction: In the Sports stats yesterday, we accidently wrote that the Ottawa Senators lost 1 to 3 against the Boston Blackhawks Monday. Obviously, we meant the Chicago Bruins.
