#WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️You know how you can tap your credit or debit card anywhere? You can now do it at a single station on the O Train as of today. The City is awfully proud of this announcement, which allows riders to do something every single store and fast food joint has been able to do for years. And it's only at the Rideau Station. [City of Ottawa] ▪️Shepherds of Good Hope want to expand their ByWard Market shelter but some neighbours are complaining. The Shepherds want to create supportive housing for 48 people who have moved past homelessness. The project would include communal dining and staff to work with residents on mental health and problems with addiction. Neighbours complain that homeless services are being concentrated in the area.
