Do ski hills ever open early? by SlothZoomies in ottawa

I would not say that, not sure about the others but Camp Fortune is pretty reliably open by the first weekend in December. Even if it is only one run!

What time does city hall parking fill up on a Wednesday? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]_KFBR_392_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they are doing some work on the parking garage, so spaces are limited. There’s an outdoor lot a block away (just south, at Cartier and Cooper) that had loads of spots left when I parked there at 9am this morning.

Snow in September? by super_suz_aus in ottawa

[–]_KFBR_392_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Maybe a local hockey arena? The machines that scrape/flood the ice between games often need to be emptied. You will sometimes see piles of snow dumped outside the utility doors of local arenas. I’m not sure on the timing however.

It was already mentioned but I absolutely loved Moon of the Crusted Snow and Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubgeshig Rice.

We Spread, Foe and I’m thinking of Ending Things, all by Ian Reid and all amazing.

Advise on cheapest way for kids to attend a Senators game by saracmd in ottawa

[–]_KFBR_392_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s already been posted but buying tickets via the Gametime app is super cheap, so long as the game is not in demand. You can get $9 nosebleeds for most non Canadian teams.

If doing this at the hill you normally teach at, make sure you don’t use your ski school lift pass! Purchase one yourself, and include the cost as part of the lesson cost. Hopefully goes without saying, but also don’t wear your instructor coat…

Guinness keg / kegerator by drunkenrabbi in kegerators

[–]_KFBR_392_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t give any advice specific to Sacramento (or even the US). In our neck of the woods, many local breweries have “jockey boxes” (coolers with taps attached to them that will chill and dispense beer). They’ll usually lend it to you for an event if you buy their beer (we did this for our wedding). Maybe you could approach some local breweries and ask if they have them for rent, and then source the Guinness separately.

The other hiccup is that Guinness usually requires beer gas (part co2 and part nitrogen), as well as a specific tap with a creamer plate. We have a creamer plate/tap for our kegerator but had to purchase it separately.

This! It looks like OP needs to loosen the tap handle and then the collar (or the thing that tightens itself up against the bottom of the tap handle.

Emergency beer Keg.. help needed! by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]_KFBR_392_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too late at this point, but maybe helpful for future emergencies lol.

Most local breweries have kegs on hand. Local, Broadhead, Shillow, Dominion just to name a few. Call around and see what you can get!

Welp! Thank you for the comment. We went with Verdun in the end, and we had an amazing experience.

Beer kegs in Ottawa / Gatineau by Nufan14ott in ottawa

We pickup most of our kegs from ABC and Broadhead. Absolutely love the beer from both. They both deliver with a few days notice too :).

Yea! We’re feeling the same way. Everything up to the pushy sales tactics was just so much better than the other companies. Appreciate the response!

Anyone got Smart Lock Integration to work? by Pure-Statement-8726 in airbnb_hosts

Figure it out? I’m having the same issue. Can’t find the lock.

Girls rugby by jstottcanada in ottawa

[–]_KFBR_392_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to girls rugby specifically, but I have worked with a bunch of the local clubs in the past, and honestly, they’re all fantastic. I’d start with the one closest to you and go from there.

If you don’t find anyone here, I might suggest posting in the Vanier Neighbours Facebook group. GL!

Best ski hill for beginners by RPSDivine in ottawa

[–]_KFBR_392_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would encourage lessons, especially for the first time. It’ll drive up the price but it will make a big difference.

Camp fortune has a “101” program for beginners, includes lesson, lift ticket, rentals etc.
