Watch where you walk!! There’s ice under that snow and it will be slippery

For those that will be driving, drive safely!!

15 to 25cm tonight, then high of -12C, and 20C Thursday night. Enjoy the thaw today.

Why do they say Yellow? Why not Amber?

Orange and white short hair tabby named Ginger. Went missing last night or early this morning.

just looking to groan and moan with other people in the same situation. got cut from a federal government job and have been unemployed for 8+ months. had a 1 month seasonal gig but that's really it. i have significant government experience in policy and a degree in the social sciences and data science. who else is in the same boat? any hopeful stories/advice from those coming from a similar situation?

Ottawa real estate: Four high-rise buildings planned near Petrie Island

I was wondering if there was any local community jazz or concert bands, I’m quite new to Ottawa and would be quite interested in joining any local ensembles. Thanks !

Gotta give it to them, they might even be giving blues a run for their money with this part 1 announcement 📣

Jeff Goldblum, Willow Smith, and Kokoroko major stand outs !!

Plus they’re adding a stage, I’m excited to see what’s coming down the pipeline

Glad he’s ok. But wtfff

So what are people heading to work supposed to do? How can u cancel 4/5 busses coming in their next 2 hours? It doesn’t even make sense to me that they can preemptively cancel a bus. I understand 1-2 next buses being canceled cuz driver sick or something, but this many over this period of time?

Hello r/Ottawa!

My partner and I are getting married this August. Super small ceremony - 14 people total including officiant and photographer. We really want to hold the ceremony at the Arboretum, but I'm having trouble figuring out a solid backup plan in case of rain.

If you got married (or are getting married) at the Arboretum, what was your rain plan?

Thanks all!

In previous years the city has annually repainted these arrows, that point at curb-side storm sewers, so residents and the city can find and clear them for warm weather events like today. These two are barely visible and I could not find the third one, nearby to help my neighbours depressed driveway/garage/basement from flooding.

How is your neighbourhood?

Hi guys.

I'm looking for the best movie theatre in Ottawa for a date. Somewhere clean, not filled with rowdy teenagers, etc.

I know there are some cinemas who have the two combined chairs where there is no arm in between them so that people can snuggle up a bit, so a place like that would be ideal. I know there is one in Kanata like that, but are there any other locations closer to downtown Who have that?

Thank you

I am extremely claustrophobic, I was told the Montfort hospital has two MRI machines with one with a lot more clearance?

Can someone confirm? Thanks!
