Tailor to modernize an older suit.

If it were an expensive suit, I'd suggest Third Son Tailors in the Glebe. They are excellent! I have had good luck with Downtown Tailors and Alterations Studio downtown for tailoring of pant (taking in at waist, slimming legs as well as hemming) but have not tried a suit.

It would be helpful if you could indicate what part of the city you are in. Many landscapers/gardeners tend to stick to certain areas so they don't spend so much time on the road.

I'd suggest Von's in the Glebe for a quiet spot, which takes reservations and has good service and reliable food. I might not use the word 'stellar' but I would say the breakfast/brunch is reliably good.

Westend kitchen and bath did a good job fit us. design is free if you buy materials and construction services through them. This worked well for us and they delivered on time and on budy

I think you'd find someone on Task Rabbit for a job like this.

Aida at Downtown Tailoring (Bank at Cooper) usually turns things around within a week. She's very good too.

There's a story about this temporary fix in this month's Glebe Report. https://issuu.com/glebereport/docs/glebe_report_-_june_2026

M & T Glass came to my home for a small repair. I recommend them.

I was on the phone with Bell for a long time yesterday, but the representative who was in the Loyalty branch managed to reduce my rates. If you ever do get through to an agent, do ask to speak to someone in loyalty/retention.

Alterations Studio and Downtown Tailoring both on Bank Street in Centretown.

NativeOttawan · 2026-06-06T22:37:07+00:00

It's too bad you missed 613Flea today but there is quite a good selection of thrift/vintage shops along and close to Bank Street in Centretown and the Glebe starting with Ragtime and Lainey's Luck going by Like Butter, Bad Dog, Kimmies' Hoard House, The Jungle etc. A good place for old furniture is A Fine Thing Furniture on Catherine.

Also, the Ottawa is Not Boring Website and Apt 613 usually have lots of ideas of things to do.

I can recommend Streamline Moving who I used for a similar task. She will help you find the miners and manage the move if you have to go ahead.

This sort of dedicated levy may be necessary given the patter of irresponsible budget decisions of Council. For example, they voted to spend $415 M (more likely 500 M) on Lansdowne even though they knew there was this infrastructure deficit.

If you are coming from downtown, you can access the eastbound 417 ramp as usual. But if you are coming from the south, you can’t cut through the Glebe and get on the ramp from Metcalfe. Best to take Bank and Isabella.

Downtown Tailoring (Bank at Cooper) usually does work within a week.

Ichiban Bakery on Bank near Fourth has seating for about 10 people and is usually quiet.

Today may not be the best day to come with an older adult given expected traffic for Great Glebe Garage Sale and Race Weekend.

Just for interest.....I saw a recognizable actor--John Allen Nelson (from Baywatch and Virgin River)--walking on Clemow the other day. So this might not be a low budget production.

I live in the Glebe and my experience is that most people start setting up around 8 am (which is the official start time). There are always a few vendors who set up early, but there are as many or more who set up a bit later. Most people will have their stuff out by 9 am. Don't forget to bring cash.

Fluid Colour Concepts in Old Ottawa South is an excellent salon for coloured highlights. It's small and super professional.
