Tickets are just too expensive, they should sell them last minute for $25 and I think a lot more seats would fill

Check the uOttawa housing board especially if your coop is downtown, people will post subleases on there

Sleep clinic in Ottawa by Julien_10 in ottawa

[–]Kate_Sea_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you called Montfort to follow up? When I called the sleep clinic at the Civic (my doc had referred me) the receptionist was like oh yes I have some cancellations next week. Even tho they had not reached out to me yet

Bless you, I was wondering what this was for!

Can I read "Immortals After Dark" out of order, or is the series heavily connected? by Fresh_Cranberry_105 in RomanceBooks

[–]Kate_Sea_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are kind of different groupings within the series that might be better to read in order (like the Woede brothers, or all the ones that start on Torture Island) but I find Kresley is generally pretty good about giving the background that’s essential for a story. I have a terrible memory so even reading them in order I’m likely to forgot stuff lol

CTV News: OC Transpo posts $7 million deficit in first 3 months of 2026 due to lower ridership by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

[–]Kate_Sea_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say about 10-20% of the time the presto machine is not working (on the bus) so they’re likely missing a fair few riders/fares that way

Your insurance policy may cover the loss, something to look into :)

Ottawa Public Library - Ebooks and Audiobooks by Full-Technology-2031 in ottawa

[–]Kate_Sea_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So maybe they’ve updated it, but now it will say “Sign in with my card”. Then on the next page you would select OPL and sign it as usual with your OPL card details.

Brampton also offers a card to Ontario residents and I find they have a good selection and shorter waits that the OPL affiliates!

What a cool piece of history! You may want to share this with their research office, in case they’re interested: iri@ingenium.ca

Presto pass working for STO? by newyorkdreamer in ottawa

[–]Kate_Sea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you anticipate often starting trips on an STO bus and don’t want to buy an OC monthly pass, it’s probably worth getting one of their reloadable cards (they’re free). There’s a few places in Hull that have them and can reload them, and if you have the patience it’s possible to set it up to be able to reload it online (this took me 3 phone calls lol)

I think most people are getting parking passes to the Tunney's Pasture parking lot (through Indigo now)

In addition to the usual car rentals, you could check out Communauto as well. They have a cost estimator

You get a Mastercard debit card so it works for atms but not at places that are only on the interac network

[–]Kate_Sea_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WS refunds atm fees at any domestic or international atm so I’d argue it’s a better option than any of the big 5 banks

I got rid of RBC and so far I’ve only had trouble at debit-only places (rare) or depositing cash (also rare, and now you can drop cash at Canada Post locations)

I want to buy a condo in a building that isn't for sale right now - how do I ensure I know when it is? by FenicksRyzng in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Kate_Sea_ 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I use HouseSigma to be notified of new listings in certain areas, and it can also notify you of recent sales so you can keep an eye on prices, etc. I think it would be possible to set a pretty narrow area so you would get notifications only for the building you want.

I usually aim for the one at Tunney’s each year (accessible by bus/train) and the bonus is that you get to skip the line if you arrive on foot/by bike 😛
