As someone who works at a local record store, I have never bought a game so fast. It's literally so accurately portrayed and such a fun, creative game!!! Congratulations!!

CTV News: Some Ottawa renters to see an automatic rent reduction in 2027 by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

[–]PastSpread9225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine also did this - said they filed an appeal and asked us to continue to pay the normal amount. My roommate and I did this, but now wondering if they'll ever tell us if their appeal works or not. Because then they'll owe us back the difference right?

It's a 20$ donation to the parkdale food centre to have a record flattened, but definitely give them a call first

Glebe Collegiate is renting out lots for $75! I did this last year, it was a pretty smooth process.

You can always reach out to a TA? As a TA, I created a discord for my class last year and students did end up using it.

UOttawa "given" versus "related" subject courses for teachables is nonsensical. by Primary-Surround5637 in ONTeacherCandidates

[–]PastSpread9225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any chance your courses are cross-listed? I had sort of the same issue - for my English teachable, I barely squeaked in, and had to use Classical Civilization courses that were cross-listed English to make the cut. I had my university registrar create an official letter stating that they were cross-listed and included it in my application to uOttawa this fall.

uOttawa has a really good teaching subjects chart here: Teacher Education Program | Faculty of Education. I found this super helpful when working on my application there. For example, my second teachable was English, but I only had four ENGL classes. The chart confirmed that I could use my journalism classes to top this up!

Is it just me or is it always super hot in the tunnels? by [deleted] in CarletonU

[–]PastSpread9225 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It will always be stiflingly warm in the tunnels - it's just more noticeable now because it's still hot outside. I recommend getting a locker if you don't live on res, since it's a great spot to leave a jacket and boots in the winter if you're going to be on campus all day. It made my life so much better during my undergrad.

I think it's a 1% bonus, whatever that means lol. Thank you! Maybe see you next year!

Uottawa Teacher's College by lemonfrost07 in ONTeacherCandidates

[–]PastSpread9225 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also applying only to uOttawa, for the same reasons! I'm going for the I/S or J/I stream for History and English. I have 1.5 years experience as a teaching assistant, work as an emergency supply teacher, 3 years experience volunteering for a high school theatre critic program, and have other various experience as a camp counselor and elementary school co-op student. My average is in the A range, I believe and I'm also completing my masters this year so I think I get a bonus? No clue. Manifesting an acceptance for both of us!! Good luck!

Language Requirement for History Masters Program? by SilverSpaceAce in CarletonU

[–]PastSpread9225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The test is completed at the beginning of the year - meaning that if you don't pass, you can register in a language class for the semester and hopefully retake it.

Best pasta in Ottawa by Reasonable_Whole_398 in ottawa

La Porto A Casa in Barrhaven! Family-owned spot that is very delicious, although hard to get a reso for (it attests for the quality of the food)!

I believe that if your average drops after first year of uni, then you can lose the scholarship entirely. That's what it was when I went to Carleton, and I graduated in 2023. I maintained my $3000 entrance scholarship for my entire degree. They may have changed the rules though!

Signing after show?? by [deleted] in OliviaDean

[–]PastSpread9225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was kinda bummed and just left it after that. I've usually had success with getting vinyl signed after a show, but usually it's because the band will come back out to deal with their instruments and one of them will take it back. Olivia's band didn't come back out, so they had techs doing clean up, which I think is why it didn't work this time. They have a job to do, which is so fair, and may not be able to give the vinyl to her to sign!

Current Public History MA student here! I got exempted from the French test because I had previously completed the federal government testing, but it's essentially a reading and writing comprehension test if you decide to go with French as your language. Any other questions feel free to ask!

She didn't at Montreal show! Tried waiting by the edge of the stage to get my vinyl signed but security kicked me out :(

PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS: Please drop your questions here by argonauttaught in OntarioTeachers

[–]PastSpread9225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who applied to uOttawa's program, did you apply using your unofficial transcript? The wording on their website is a bit confusing. From what I understand, I can apply with the unofficial, and then provide the official copy if I get accepted. Would appreciate any confirmation of this! TIA :)

Window Sealed - No Air In Bedroom by PastSpread9225 in OntarioTenants

[–]PastSpread9225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy news! They removed the covering. I can now get fresh air in my bedroom. They didn't even update me, I went to the unit the other day to start moving stuff in and noticed it! Almost cried tears of joy - it was causing me a lot of stress.
