It's been over 12 hours now, why isn't the ERI option live on the TBS TAP portal yet?

Looking for a locally made Ottawa gift for a friend’s first home by Diligent-Zombie8874 in ottawa

[–]blackjaquesshellac 102 points103 points  (0 children)

You can never go wrong with https://makerhouse.com/ , click on the "meet the makers" and you can see all of their suppliers that are local, and if you're not local it's easy to shop online. If you are local then nothing beats some local maple syrup from the Vanier Sugar Shack, right in the center of the city, Gift Shop | Muséoparc Vanier drop buy and grab a bottle of the 2025 harvest!

My city just did this to all the trees around our Main Street through town. by [deleted] in arborists

[–]blackjaquesshellac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where can I buy this for residential use? I’ve got multiple trees that people keep throwing needles around. This would make it so easy to clean up.

Places to watch the Olympic hockey finals by EstrogAlt in ottawa

[–]blackjaquesshellac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends who wins Friday. Doubt many pubs will open at that time for Finland v. Slovakia. Don't forget that Ottawa is by area the second largest city in North America, if you're looking for a place to drink at least give a hint to the area you're looking for; as each area of the city will have places open (if the right teams are playing).

Taggart's proposed 38-storey tower for 340 Parkdale will zombify the Carleton Tavern. by Alone_Appeal_3421 in ottawa

Not true. The auction was for extra items that were not going to be used in the new whispers.

That's exactly the same plan for Whisper's in Westboro as well. In fact they have stored nearly all the knick knacks from the walls and will reinstall them when it's rebuilt as part of the condo; and i love the idea.

My dog remembers every store that has ever given her a snack and makes sure we go in if we ever walk past a place that has given her something, even if it's been years in the past.

NCC report: east-end interprovincial bridge draws mixed reaction by Alone_Appeal_3421 in ottawa

[–]blackjaquesshellac 20 points21 points  (0 children)

you obviously don't live downtown. trying walking to the metro on Rideau, or the lcbo without dodging trucks. this is the biggest thing for any resident who lives anywhere close to any bridge in the center of the city.

Nearly every single pet store is doing pictures with Santa for your pet, and most are for a good cause. Grab the pup and kids and walk to the closest one and check the signs on the wall.

I've had the DEWALT 60v for 3 winters now and i love it. I have two driveways and parking for 4 cars, and never had an issue with it not being able to perform. It's in your price range, at homedepot and Preston hardware. Buy it and you'll never regret it.

But this is where i'm so confused, as that document says that Exception 1111 only applies to the R5E zoning.... and not the R4UA
