There have been so many warm days in September where #Ottawa wading pools and bathroom access would benefit the public. I’ll work on Budget 2024 to see the city move towards the standard set by other cities with our changing weather. #ottnews

@OccTranspo with the colours I almost thought this was a fresh new bit about Ottawa LRT 🤪

“Public transit isn’t meant to turn a profit because it’s not a business. In Ottawa we think money going to transit is ‘spending’ rather than ‘investment’ in the absolute basics of city life.”

Wise words from @bpellerin. #OttTransit

Train 63 from Montreal this morning will be the first revenue service to Toronto to use one of #viarail’s new Venture trains. (Hat tip to Matt Q. of Railfans Quebec for noticing it listed on the departure board in Montreal)

Michael Andlauer is at the Senators Community Foundation golf tournament and jokes, “I probably shouldn’t be here today…officially.”

Says he didn’t want to wait a year to support a pillar of the #Sens community.

“The Sens foundation is important to me. I didn’t want to wait a year because I’m not officially the owner of this team.”

[Claire Hanna @clahanna]

While everyone in Ottawa is eagerly waiting for Brady Tkachuk to sign…I’ll casually drop in to say I’m joining the @TSN_Sports team in #YOW!

So excited for this opportunity & I can’t wait to cover all the major sports stories in our nation’s capital 🇨🇦🍁
