WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT

▪️The National Art Gallery is losing its CEO as Sasha Suda takes over as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The switchover will happen in September. Suba has been with the National Gallery since 2019. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is, of course, the one with the steps that Rocky runs up in the eponymous film. [NY Times]

▪️Stittsville ward councillor Glen Gower will bring up the Little Library issue at tomorrow's Council meeting. City of Ottawa bylaw officers threatened a family with a fine if they did not remove their Little Library from next to the sidewalk. Gower says the bylaw is intended for things like sheds, Little Libraries were not contemplated. [CBC]

▪️The City has delayed the return of e-scooter rentals until companies can prove the devices won't run on sidewalks. E-scooters are tons of fun – please don't unsubscribe. But residents complain that people use them on sidewalks or park them in places that impede people with disabilities. The delay will probably last until early July. [CBC]
