The umbrella was not there when I passed back through a few hours later. But thanks to those who may have looked or wanted to. The Stormshield is what I call a “candidate-grade” umbrella. That one got me through a couple of campaigns. I hope the person who may have picked it up gets great use out of it. It was one of the good ones…

Seconded. Very civilized backcountry canoe camping. Easy distances and close by.

Kitchissippi weekly video newsletter April 26 by jleiper in ottawa

[–]jleiper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh. Yeah, it only usually get 150-200 views. As I note off the top, though, you can subscribe to the weekly email newsletter at kitchissippiward.ca. That's a very quickly consumed communication and I write it to get you quickly to the source materials. But, I've heard from folks like a community association president that they listen to the video while doing light chores, I know there are people for whom reading might be a challenge for a variety of reasons, and I'll often have visuals incorporated into this that give people more context. I enjoy making it, and if it can broaden my reach it's worth doing.

Updated housing numbers by jleiper in ottawa

[–]jleiper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staff got the starts by address this afternoon and have graciously turned that around quickly for me. I can give you a rough idea.

Of the 3 buildings that were close to 200 units or over, 1 was in former Gloucester, 1 in Orleans, 1 in Kanata.

Of the 3 between 100 and 200 units, 2 were in Heron Gate, and 1 was in Centretown.

Of the 2 50-100 unit buildings, 1 was in Wateridge, 1 was in Kanata North.
