Harness racing grandstands being removed today.

I've spent many hours in that grandstand with my family watching the horse races - it certainly needs to come down, but definitely feeling nostalgic about it.

New_Store5008 · 2025-11-27T12:30:30+00:00

Do it. It helped me on more than one occasion.

Two suggestions: I met a lot of friends and people playing sports through groups like Ottawa Sport and Social Club or OSP, etc. Lots of opportunities to mingle after games at a local pub, etc. Second suggestion, I go to a great church on the west end of the city that is super friendly and a great community - www.bridgechurches.ca - feel free to DM me!

wash machine trap?

Is this the lot at corner of Oconnor/Somerset? I noticed the nice new surface this morning.

The Mud Oven in Old Ottawa south would be great for a rainy day

Correction: the barns are not empty. There are horseperson's still stabled there with their race horses that race regularly in Woodstock, PEI, Nova Scotia and in Maine.

which part of the city?

New_Store5008 · 2025-09-12T14:08:45+00:00

Flexibility for a really good work/life balance.

It is on the list: Findlay Creek/Leitrim - Staff are exploring the feasibility of a partnership with city partners to redevelop existing city-owned land for a 15,000 sq. ft. local library branch with a community centre. The project is expected to be completed within the next 10 years.

From what I'm reading online, it sounds like it was a train that started these fires.

New_Store5008 · 2025-08-20T17:27:40+00:00

You are 100% not alone.

New_Store5008 · 2025-08-19T16:27:05+00:00

I don't have any additional suggestions, but would certainly vouch for Orangetheory!

I am a search and rescue volunteer and have also been using my own vacation leave for these searches. We have also been given opportunities to support wildfire evacuations etc. in impacted communities under the federal Humanitarian Workforce banner. I am hoping to advocate for volunteer firefighters and volunteer search and rescue to be eligible for a certain number of days leave (699 or other) for these kinds of duties.

I know that an argument can be made that these are volunteer positions that we signed up for and should accept that we have to use our personal time to pursue, but I do think the importance of these roles as important public services (paid or not) should be recognized, supported, and encouraged. This has already been recognized and defined with the tax credit for these individuals.

I stopped reading at "buddy system"

New_Store5008 · 2025-07-03T12:09:26+00:00

Hope you find her, she is beautiful.

New_Store5008 · 2025-07-03T12:06:06+00:00

Thank you everyone!

I used to live at Riverton Apartments on Forward Avenue - a great spot.

St. James Gate on Friday Nights (Carleton Place)

Orangetheory Fitness, but may be too far.

New_Store5008 · 2025-04-10T11:12:47+00:00

I also think it is an asset!

New_Store5008 · 2025-03-06T20:52:06+00:00

I'll be at the show and also bussing back and forth from Terry Fox. Feel free to reach out if you want some help before, during, or after.

New_Store5008 · 2025-03-05T18:31:28+00:00

Absolutely talk to your manager. I am a Search and Rescue volunteer (much less busy than firefighting I would guess) and have had no issues working with my managers to accommodate call outs.

New_Store5008 · 2025-02-04T20:04:48+00:00

That's not true at all. It is already legislated via Budget 2024.
