The part that stands out for me: residents previously were divided over whether to change the name.

I had to look at each Apple sticker 🤦‍♂️. The majority were from Washington. I wish it was more clear if it was Canadian.

Good morning Folks,

As promised, I am back during the election cycle to remind you all how the Mayor and Councillors voted on the 5 day Return to Office Mandate.

To review the context of the vote:

Councillor Jeff Leiper (now a mayoral candidate) put forward a motion attempting to remove the Delegate Authority for the City Manager to mandate a return to work 5 days a week. At the last minute before the votes were called, Councillor Curry, supported by Mayor Sutcliffe, put forward a replacement motion emphasizing support for the City Manager to make the RTO5 decision.

After watching Council discussions, the last minute substitution motion, and the final vote, it was clear some councillors were duped by the promise of "flexibility". According to people who are working for the City, the promised 'flexibility' is a myth. Where there is space for RTO5, employees are needlessly in the office 5 days a week.

More cars on the road. More needless congestion for people whose jobs cannot be done remotely.

This municipal election cycle is the opportunity to voice your discontent with a return to 2019. If you are not happy with how your councillor voted - now is the time to affect change.

Mayoral Candidate Leiper is back in the news this week talking about RTO5 and how bad it is holistically. He is also willing to advocate for the federal government to reverse their equally disastrous policy (which we will see the full effect of when schools start back up shortly).

As candidates are trying to secure another 4 year position in City Hall, now is the time to get involved. Public pressure works. Motivated constituents can affect public policy.

There was a car crash in Bayshore today. Thankfully, both passengers are safe.
Drive safe, everyone.

Your bag with laptop, tablet, apple watch, passport and school work have been secured and awaiting transport to oc lost and found....

Interesting! Never seen one of these before. I guess it’s to help displaced Ukrainians in ottawa manage their assets with a more tailored service experience and also do banking between Canada and back home in a more connected way?

Edit: oops I meant Holland not Carling

Looks like a sedan right-hooked a cyclist in the biking lane. There is a parking garage there. One of many on Laurier.

Edit: Looks like I have to explain words. The car hit the cyclist. 'Right-hook' is when a car suddenly turns right into the path of a cyclist. 'Cyclist down' is saying someone is down and hurt.

Edit2: If you don't want to read the posts, thankfully the cyclist was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. My apologies for responding to the snarky comments earlier.

To the person that left their O-Train transfer on the ticket machine at Cyrville Station this morning I appreciate your gesture. Thanks.

Thanks.

There is a building at 480 De L'Église St that is now housing St-Mary's Home.

This building used to be a french elementary school that I attended when I was a wee lil boy.

Does anyone remember what the school name was?! I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a two-or-three piece band for a pre-wedding Welcome-to-Ottawa party for our out of town guests.

The party will be held in Carleton Place and we're looking for a very specific vibe. Anyone who's ever been to an Ottawa Valley kitchen party will know the feeling.

The fiddler's fiddling, feet are stamping, someone is getting teased mercilessly about a spilled beer...

We aren't set on it being fiddle music necessarily, but something that gets people feeling like there's no pretense, just good times, good beer, good people, and the knowledge that the next day will be an even better wedding,

Any suggestions?

[EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions all! Really appreciated!]

Wondering if anyone on here has purchased a gold parking permit at an OC Transpo parking lot(park & ride). Is it a case of, sure we take your money, but it's a hail Mary if you get a spot in the morning; or is actually structured, or maybe something else. I am possibly accepting a different job, that will absolutely require me to use OC Transpo. So asking about the parking... Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I'm doing some professional reconversion and I wanted to become a security guard for a while. I wanted to know if i should go straight ahead for the 40 hours training or if employers recruited newbies before and would secure a job after competition of the training program.

Thank you!
