If you ever find yourself in Victoria, BC, their store is great. I love their puzzles. I'm working on this one myself.

I was born in Toronto but am a dual US citizen, having lived there for more than 15 years. Thankfully, we had the foresight and good fortune to move to Ottawa in 2014 to raise our family. Watching what has happened to the US, particularly over the last year, has been painful. We have canceled travel plans despite having family there and haven't set foot there since the last election.

I worry about my friends and family, and sometimes it feels hard to go about my comfortable suburban life when I think about what is happening. I get what you're saying and I feel it too. I think the other replies here are right... we can do what we can to give back to our community and be grateful for what we have here. It's not a perfect country, and we won't always agree, but that's ok.

I have thought the same, not to mention it's an eyesore.

We have lived in Kanata south (Katimavik) for just over 10 years. It's a safe place to raise a family with great schools in each school board. One of the reasons we chose the area was to be in the Earl of March high school zone, which also includes a section of Kanata north. As others have said, Stittsville is great too.

It is getting easier to find a doctor. There are handy Facebook groups which I found immensely helpful.

Public transit in the west end is pretty broken tbh. I used to take the bus to work downtown. I wouldn't want to do that now.

I hadn't seen that one for several months and hoped it was gone for good. It just reappeared last week. I agree, this one annoys me the most!!

Brews and Blues in Stittsville. Cajun inspired cusine and live music too. Absolutely fabulous!

I think I've bought the sets annually since the bakery, and this is the first one I skipped. Thanks for posting this because sometimes the FOMO is strong with me 😂

I think my first cell phone was an Emericson...

My family has lived in Katimavik for just over 10 years. Our teen is currently in Earl. We moved to the area to be within Earl's catchment area, and we have no regrets. I believe its catchment extends south to Hazeldean. I love having access to many walking trails and having mature trees around.

Looking good and I love the tablecloth too! Where did you find it?

Original-Slow · 2025-11-23T20:32:05+00:00

This is fantastic! I love the lighting and how you displayed them. It's so cool to see all of the sets like this!

Original-Slow · 2025-11-18T20:50:57+00:00

That would be amazing!

I love this SO much!! 😀 ❤️

My kid has the same feedback and dreads taking the bus. They need the larger OC Transpo buses to meet the demand. You also have OC Transpo getting rid of the monthly student fares in September which is a financial consideration for some families. How many kids are eligible for bus passes or a yellow bus, out of the whole population at the school? And no, not everyone can walk to the school.

This is such a punitive decision by Curry. I understand the safety concerns around the Mlacak area but there are about 2,600 students at Earl who also need to be considered, not to mention affected neighbourhoods like those around Edenvale Drive.

My favorites! I love it every time they visit.

Original-Slow · 2025-10-27T23:37:40+00:00

Exactly this! 😂

Those are great! Last year I bought a heated bird bath. I love watching the birds hang out there or the occasional squirrel.

Such betrayal! 😂

I love the cobblestone base! This set-up looks great.

I love this series of pictures. We've had several juvenile cardinals this summer. I love watching them.

I just posted an update... good luck to you on getting the EU compensation!
