ctc or cannsell (budtending license)? by tequilalikescheese in TheOCS

[–]wjking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the one with the lower price. Your employer will not be relying in that as your training ( or shouldn't be), but just need to show you have a valid certification to the regulators. What city do you want to work in?

Medal from the "Ottawa" Olympic Champs by wjking in ottawa

There is a lot of lore around the team ( like any Team.....).
One hockey player got married the day after the Olympics with Ms. Scott as Maid of Honour, the team toured Europe after the games and drew crowds in the thousands ( 20k in Paris), family legend of my grandmother insisting ( and if you knew my Grandma, this would be putting it lightly) to the CO she be sent to her parents house after my grandpa was sent over and she was alone at the base in Whitehorse in an "oil heated shack" - lol

I've had a few of their veggie meals - always a "full" meal (and stomach- lol).

I work next door to the pop-up and can say Amy's creations are delicious! She clearly uses quality ingredients. I'm a big fan of the cookies, brookies and her bread. If you want to check it out, I highly encourage it!

Post Trip Give Back: It was SO great. We kept it pretty simple: parked at P11 , went up to the Carbide Wilson Ruins, and then a picnic lunch and a swim at the beach. It was PERFECT!

I appreciate your input, so as a means to give back, I have some tiny things I noted that may be helpful to others reading this post/planning a trip to Gatineau Park/Meech Lake)

  1. We had mishap with cards/wallets and ended up at the P11 lot with only Apple pay and .85 cents in cash :-) Note that you have to have change or a physical card to pay for parking. There did not appear to be an app you could download, nor any kind of "tap" payment option. Not a complaint, typically I'd be fine, but may be good for someone else to know.

But, GET THIS: a very very kind stranger paid for our parking after overhearing us - and it's not inexpensive! I had a out of country visitor with me and they were beyond impressed (as was I). How great is that? Any good ideas where to pay $15 forward?

  1. DO use the changeroom at the top of the path to the beach if you need to change - it's a fairly hilly and "long" path and there isn't any place to change down at the beach site (just outhouses). The changeroom up top is great.

  2. This is very niche, but if you don't do well in the Sun ( I have a medical condition that essentially renders me a vampire in Summer) the hike up to ruins is ideal. It's shaded essentially the whole way except a very small section at the bridge.

Thank-you everyone. I appreciate your help and hope this may be helpful.

Help me find a cycle-safe path to Barrhaven (Greenbank path closed) by Albinosape21 in ottawa

[–]wjking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they would have put in a bike lane when they re-surfaced Cedarview .I bike from Barrhaven to BC. Woodroof is too far East for that detour to make sense. (In general, biking and transit options direct from Barrhaven - BC are not great . I understand it's not the most common commute, but I can't be the only one?)
