STATS Weather: ⛈️ 60 per cent chance of showers. High of 28°, low of 17°. Number: $7,532. The amount raised by the performers of the third annual Stittsville Front Porch Concerts. The funds were donated to the Western Ontario Community Resource Centre. [Stittsville Central] [Donations] Ottawan of the Day: Keith Millar. The tech executive is the new president and CEO of Centretown-based CryoStasis Ltd, a start-up that that is attempting to preserve human organs and stem cells for up to a week without freezing them. This would allow transplants to take place further away from the donor.

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️Online Ottawa-based real estate auction service Unreserved has filed a $25 million lawsuit against the Ottawa Real Estate Board and Ontario Real Estate Association. Unreserved says that says that officers of both organizations have defamed the company on YouTube and newspaper interviews. The company also says that the Board is barring sellers on the Multiple Listings System using “an unregulated auction.” The Board and the Association have not yet been served papers and have no comment. [Ottawa Citizen] ▪️Scouts Canada wants to redevelop its Baseline HQ into three towers. The current two level office building would be replaced with two residential towers and a third mixed-use building of 26, 28 and 30 storey. Since there is no assurance that the Scouts would remain there, the question is what to do with the totem pole created by carver Chief Mungo Martin in 1961, a gift from the province of British Columbia. Martin’s family wants the pole to remain in a public space. [Ottawa Citizen] |
