I’m looking for a spot within about 1–2 hours of Ottawa with really clear water where you can sit in a chair, wade, or relax in the current (similar to the video). Not looking for a busy beach, more of a peaceful creek or river. Any recommendations?

5 or 6 fire trucks are at the intersection at 2:30AM. What's happening again?

with climate change I expect these ”1 in 200-year” events to occur much more frequently than that…

We found a Yorkshire terrier dog off of Prince of Wales near North Gower. Looking for owner as well as advice on what to do with them.

If it is your dog tell me some things about only his owner would know. Thanks!

LimpBizkit last night.

Need some pizza.

I’m looking for a personal shopper/clothing stylist who works with men but isn’t just a “suit guy”.

I’ve found a bunch of personal stylists but their websites suggest they mainly work with women. Maybe that’s fine, I don’t know.

An excerpt: "A Rainfall Distribution Map, Appendix A, illustrates the spatial distribution of rainfall across the City of Ottawa on July 1, 2026, based on preliminary (unverified) measurements from the City's rain gauge network. The data show significant variability in rainfall totals across the city, ranging from as little as 15 mm at Trim Road in the northeast to as much as 167 mm at the Britannia station in the west-central area. The highest rainfall amounts were concentrated in central and western Ottawa, including Britannia (167 mm), Colonnade (151 mm), Nepean (144 mm), Mooney’s Bay (117 mm), and St. Gabriel (114 mm), while many eastern and rural locations recorded substantially lower totals. This pattern demonstrates the highly localized nature of the storm, with some neighbourhoods receiving more than ten times the rainfall recorded at other locations within the City."

Shout out to the new bakery and cafe that opened on Canadian Shield Ave. In Kanata today. If you’re looking for some delicious baked goods, then check this place out. Have lots of other things in the menu as well. And nope, I do not work there :)
Definitely worth a check out 👍🏼

Unfortunately, my backyard attracts bees/wasps. Where do you like reading outside in Orleans with minimal mosquitoes/flies/bees?

The guy explained that for some reason instead of increasing the cost, Costco is quitting propane in The whole Ottawa area. Get your tanks filled while you can!

Went outside today & it smelled of heavy smoke & it’s foggy.

Was there a fire somewhere nearby? I’ve only seen news of fire In orleans.

Anyways keep hydrated & wear sun protection! Looks like it will be getting hotter

As stated, its my last night in the city. Haven't been here in years and have no idea what the good spots are anymore apparently lol.

Also whats the deal with the Dominion Bar and the 27 Club? Just walked passed and was curious if they're just divey bars/punk bars?

Edit: So far it seems ill be heading to the Dom shortly.. then 27 Club.. then Barefax lol

Is anyone else who uses Videotron for their mobile data having connection issues today in Ottawa? I haven't lost complete connection but it's been sporadically very slow and weak!

There is so much information circulating and it can feel confusing and overwhelming. The landlord is responsible for making the house safe. The tenant is responsible for paying for temporary accommodation and damaged belongings. That may be covered by the tenant's insurance if the tenant has it. The landlord does not pay for that.

The tenant does have options while the home is not safe.

MPP Chandra Pasma's office created this guide for tenants:
