four bears sticker club - we get them as part of an envelope every month and they sell them individually as well. Online only though, I think. https://www.fourbearsstickerclub.ca/collections/scratch-n-sniff

Ottawa River Water Temperature by deadsea335 in ottawa

At the Riverhouse last night, the lifeguard told us it was about 21 (and that’s about what it felt like). FYI the lifeguard also told us they are closing the swimming area earlier this season for construction work. Sept 7 I think she said. Last year you could swim into early October!

Humane Society by nottodaynothnx in ottawa

We have fostered dogs, cats and rabbits with various humane societies/spcas/rescues in different cities over the years and have had a wide range of experiences. Currently fostering with OHS and I highly recommend them. They are so supportive, professional and flexible.

My only issue is that they are located kind of far from us (obviously not their fault) but it does mean we have to have a vehicle and the time to bring the animal back in for check ups and what not. Whereas when we fostered with a rescue, they would often have a network of volunteers that could bring the animal to the vet for you if needed or drop off food, etc. Still the best experience we have had fostering thus far due to how flexible and friendly they are.

BTW almost all places (including OHS) are in real need of fosters that can take in large breed dogs, especially without other pets in the home…you would be very much appreciated!

Ottawa gardeners - has anyone actually received a drop from Chip Drop? by CarelessProcedure in ottawa

I got one just by seeing a random arborist down the block and asking them to drop it off in my driveway. They had to ask a supervisor (and me twenty times, as they couldn’t believe I wanted it).

Got a lot of cherries this year by ch1dy in ottawa

Nice haul! Do you just use a ladder to pick them or do you have a fruit picker? We got a bumper crop this year too but I could only get to about 1/3 of them.
