The Queensway carleton hospital is always overburdened and between the Kanata-stittsville area there are 150,000 people. Given that population size, shouldn't we be investing in our own community hospital by now?
Hi everyone. I lost my male pitbull/cane corso mix in the Westboro Beach area of Kichi Zibi Mikan on July 2, 2026. His name his Johnny. Hes 1 year and 10 months old. Medium/Large adult dog. Based on Facebook posts, he was hit by a car yesterday but kept running away. Johnny's terrified. If you see him, please call me ASAP 506-897-2361
Previous sightings:
462 Melbourne around 7:42 AM on July 4
Keenan Ave at Gainsborough around 8:00 AM on July 4.
Moved to Ottawa not too long ago (Jan) and it's been great.
I keep seeing cars with those smoked/tinted covers over the plate or the dimmer setups that make the plate basically unreadable.
Where I come from the cops would absolutely nail you for this. Instant pull-over.
When I actually asked at ServiceOntario, I got told nothing is supposed to go on the plate at all even a clear cover. So as far as I can tell it's just not allowed, full stop.
So, genuine questions. Is enforcement basically non-existent here? Do the cops just not care? Or is there some loophole I'm not aware of that has half the city comfortable rolling around with a blacked-out plate?
Not trying to start anything, just genuinely puzzled coming from somewhere this would not fly.
I have frequently seen this cat on evening strolls through the neighbourhood, I usually see him between 8-9pm. He is quite friendly and always comes up to me for pets. Didn’t think much of it until last night when I saw him wandering around the neighbourhood at 11:30pm thats when I thought he may be lost or a stray. He tends to follow me around and meows at me as I walk, flops down and demands pets essentially. I have asked passersby if they’ve seen him before or know if he has an owner and its always the same “I’ve seen him frequently” but no more info.
Thought about putting one of those printable paper collars OHS provides for found animals on him.
Saw a guy on Meadowlands, an area hit bad by the July 1 flooding, running up to people putting out debris. Handing out cards. I admire your hustle. There is plenty of carpet to be pulled up, plenty of soaked furniture to get to the curb. I hope it works out for you.
After seeing videos of Mexicans partying with Koreans, I want to get into the party vibe of Mexicans. Is there a Mexican or Latino focussed pub or bar where I can watch the game?
Could anyone point me where I could order a custom birthday cake similar to the pictures? Thank you!
Beige case. It’s at Chesterfields.
I got a new prescription and I knew it was bad, but I didn't realize how bad - in any event, I have a trip tomorrow and I need to be able to see! Any leads on same day? They can just pop in new lenses into my old frames for now if need be. I am desperate! West end preferred (but will go into town if only option)
Between Carleton campus and Brewer park, there's a sanctioned graffiti area under a bridge.
Yesterday I walked past a family party under the gazebo, children at the splashpad, young men playing soccer, folks walking with fishing rods, and dogs swimming together to get here. It's nearly always clean, peaceful, creative, and kind of a loud-quiet with the rumble of traffic above.
Been coming here for 17 years and it's an Ottawa place that seems to just get better.
It's the summer and very little is happening. We'll continue to share what we find. If we've missed something, feel free to comment with the event. You can find direct links to these events and more in July on our career event page, or just google the title.

All the trails I have been on have some damage. Some trails are very badly damaged and are not passable on a bike. Some sections have eroded trenches 2-3' deep down to bedrock. Be very careful if you are biking. I will not be surprised if some sections are closed by the NCC.
My 22 year old brother juat asked me to help him get into rehab. I don't know where to start but I do know I need to get him help fast before he changes his mind.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.
Update: Thank you very much to everyone who took the time to comment/message me with places to check out I truly appreciate it.
For everyone telling my brother they're are proud of him please know I showed him these messages and I dont think ive seen such a big smile on his face in a while. I truly believe he's ready to get clean. He wiped his phone yesterday as well so no more contacts! Thank you EVERYONE!
Yes, I’m asking for myself and other Ottawa singles! 😉
If youre curious: I’m F41, cute, plus size, and funny!
Edit to say I do not know how to create a sub Reddit! lol
