It’s easy to include stylish Canadian made items from dresses to favours in your special day, and to prove it here’s the first of several Wedding Guides we’ve compiled.

Those who love the look of a pre-loved ring with a history should register to bid from now until Tuesday August 10th on a selection of yellow and white gold pieces. Wedding dresses ▪️Post-pandemic brides on a budget will find reasonably priced, understated, and elegant wedding and bridesmaid dresses at Arti Gogna. View online or make an appointment to view the collection in the brand’s Montréal showroom. Mother of the Bride ▪️Mothers of the bride will find lots of flattering pieces at the 3 Wild Women boutique, which sells stylish Canadian brands like Jospeh Ribkoff, Frank Lyman, Compli K, and Cokanna in a wide range of sizes. Buy online or visit the boutique at 263 Richmond Road.

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️ You can get rid of your hazardous waste this Sunday at the Innes snow dump, 2170 Mer Bleue Road. It's household hazardous waste but no electronics. Everything must be in a bag or box for staff to remove from your vehicle – and they are not returning anything. The next hazardous waste depot is in September. [City of Ottawa] ▪️ The National Capital Commission has closed two beaches in Gatineau Park due to natural toxic scum. Parent and Breton beaches on Lac Phillipe were found to have cyanobacteria, a blue-green algae that can cause eye irritation, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, or muscle aches. The other beaches remain open. [CBC] ▪️ Ottawa housing prices drop 4% from June to July.
