@_rkgg issue and no further meals were given to protesters. Our soup kitchen is committed to providing meals to people experiencing and at risk of homelessness in Ottawa. This weekend’s events have caused significant strain to our operations at an already difficult time. (2/2)

Our women’s 1/2 marathon and marathon records are now held by a 38 yr old and 37 yr old, respectively.

If that doesn’t give you hope for longevity in sport, idk what will! 😍

@ShawnMenard1 there is a broken street light hanging on the corner of Linden Terrace and O’Connor. Looks unsafe. Please share with the right group! ☺️

[Jim Watson @JimWatsonOttawa]

NEW:
As patios reopen tomorrow, I’m launching a local campaign to encourage those who are able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant to be patient, kind & generous with servers. If you can, #TopUpYourTip to show your support for those who have been out of work for several months.

[Carolyn Thompson @caroothompson]
