Two of the better takeaway sushi eateries happen to be in Kanata. Sushi Eki opened last year and its chef/owner studied making sushi for years in Tokyo. This is good, fresh food and the training shows in the well crafted dishes.

The signs, which said a series of routes would be cancelled in the event of a severe storm were a mistake, OC Transpo said today. https://t.co/k99QWG4SS9

It has come to our attention that some of our Severe Storm Schedule pilot signs posted in the west end have caused confusion.

We have made a mistake. Signs posted at 25 stops are incorrect and will be replaced today.

We do apologize. We know this is frustrating. 1/10
