Today would have been my Mom’s 95th birthday - I hope she is enjoying a glass of her favourite bubbly in heaven.

I will remember my Mom today by skating the Rideau Canal - a love we shared.

Cheers to a truly special lady - who we lost too soon…
⛸️🥂✨🌹

All right stop, we're on an ice-cold mission. 🧊

Our maintenance team flooded 6.2 km on the #RideauCanal Skateway over the past two nights.

The pumps draw water onto the surface, which turns snow into ice to help build ice thickness more quickly. #OttNews #CanalWatch

Happy New Year!

As 2023 rapidly comes to an end, I would like to send my best wishes for 2024 - in my language as well as the languages of my friends!
Cheers!

To all of those who celebrate with me, a very Merry Christmas - and sharing with those around the globe in their mother tongues.
Best wishes to all!

Lest we forget.

As I do each year, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour, I pause to remember those who served or currently serve Canada. Thank you for your sacrifice in the name of our democracy and for the freedom I enjoy.

I will remember always.

As the #NHL has decided it can’t support community causes - like Pride - I decided I can’t support them - I’ll miss you @Senators.

[TSN Hockey @TSNHockey]

Longtime NHL executive Brian Burke says the league's decision to ban on-ice support for community causes, which includes the use of rainbow-coloured stick tape on Pride nights, is a "surprising and serious setback." https://t.co/MDkcqVxhJH

Bruce is Back!  

This weekend during #OpenNCC, get a behind the scenes look at what happens on and off the ice of the #RideauCanal Skateway (and maybe a look at what Bruce does during the summer 😎).

Louis’ Restaurant on McArthur. On this corner since 1960. Great pizza but the whole menu is good. I recommend coming back in a few weeks on Thanksgiving weekend for their Thanksgiving dinner platter.

Come for the food. Stay for the old school vinyl bench upholstery.

A great reminder from our friends at https://t.co/DHdnzrDHoN ! The most common STI symptom is no symptom at all, so it’s important to stay on to of regular routine testing which includes blood work, urine, throat and rectal swabs! 📋✅

Why does #Ottawa celebrate our #pride at the end of August? Because of the We Demand Rally from August 28, 1971 - the first large scale #gayrights protest in Canada! #ottawapride

Happy 150th @rcmpgrcpolice !

#DYK that the RCMP and the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery have a tremendous shared heritage?

For example, the first Commissioner, G.A. French, commanded 'A' Battery in Kingston before being transferred to the NWMP.

[John Newcombe @NewkerYOW]

Today I am celebrating 20 years of “us” with my partner Marty.

Fate did a wonderful job in bringing us together! I am happy to have shared 2 decades as a couple and look forward to all the adventures to come.

Thank you to my better half!
