STATS Weather: ⛅ A mix of sun and cloud. High of 27°, low of 17°. Number: 5. The number of deaths from overdoses this month from an assumed batch of tainted drugs. Inner City Health treated 134 overdoses in June, more than double the number from last year. [Ottawa Citizen] Ottawan of the Day: Khadija El Hilali. El Hilali has formed Support Sistem, which supplies 200 low income families with groceries. [CTV] [Support Sistem] Quote: 'That’s about a year and a half away, and that’s what we think is going to be our cutoff date’ – Louise Hine-Schmidt, deputy chief of training and safety for Ottawa Fire Services. The Service wants a new training building because the City approved a new eight storey condo next door, whose tenants will be affected by smoke and heat from training. Really, this is what they are saying – a City department has to move because the City approved an unsuitable building next door. [Ottawa Citizen] Sports: CEBL: Ottawa BlackJacks 90 – Saskatchewan Rattlers 92, last night Frontier League Ottawa Titans 10 – Trois-Rivières Aigles 12, last night |

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️The Gatineau Passport Office is triaging requests, in a new system. The Gatineau Service Canada office staff are checking airline tickets or hotel reservations and dividing applicants into travel within 48 hours, within three days, people who previously applied, and pickups. Applicants will get a ticket for the date and time they should return. [CTV] ▪️Sainte-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau has launched a project to study Eurasian water-milfoil - an aquatic plant - in an effort to protect future tourism. The tiny town – population 520 – has partnered with Quebéc in investigating ways to prevent milfoil’s spread, including covering lakes in burlap. Milfoil rapidly spreads from lake to lake to river by attaching itself to recreational boats and spreading just under the water surface. [CBC] |
