Retired Canadian Foreign Service. Happy resident of Ottawa Vanier. These days, doing more local than global. RTs do not necessarily signal endorsement.
Interesting article on Ottawa's lower Rideau (Mooney's to Falls) as urban national park. @JBroughamOTT Oped sees importance of natural east bank & public docks growing presence along banks. @ACVanierCA@peterstockdale idea to recognize Rideau water trail https://t.co/8sqydi1oCU
@ONS_SQO After years-long @ACVanierCA pressing kudos to ONS for discovering StatsCAN 2021 3 census tracts for #Vanier instead of dividing former City to combine some of its parts with other hoods to suit its data formation. Combining Vanier data wld help Vanier research @PlanteSteph613
@VanierDe@1Canoe2Paddles VCA proposal to City for some years now is to reduce # lanes to 3 like Mtl Rd east of Pkwy for traffic calming &matching bike lane EB to already existing WB & connecting to new bike track at N River. Inexpensive albeit short term solution. City response: use Adawe bridge.
Firefighters successfully rescued/resuscitated a dog & a cat from a condo unit that had a kitchen 🔥 in the 200 block of Greensway Ave in Vanier. We responded at approx 17:13 & the first crew arrived in 3 min & found the kitchen on🔥 in a ground flr unit & it had extended to the cupboards. Fire crews had the 🔥 under control at 17:22, 5 min after arriving & prevented it from spreading to any other units. The residents were not home at the time of the fire. #OttNews
