WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT

▪️The City wants your opinions on water distribution, wastewater collection, and stormwater management. The City will be incorporating this into the Master Plan and will include proposals to support intensification. This is the kind of stuff that the City pays millions on, no one pays attention to, and is used as justification for not being about to afford lower transit fares. [City of Ottawa] [The Detailed Plan] [The Survey]

▪️Flags have been lowered to half-staff at the National Arts Centre in memory of composer Bramwell Tovey. Tovey worked with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra as well as co-founding Winnipeg’s New Music Festival and working with orchestras around the world. [Ottawa Citizen]

▪️Photos of what $800,300 gets you in nine different Ottawa neighbourhoods. The weird number refers to what the average price of a house is now. [CTV]
