Good morning! Today is the annual 9runrun event, in support of the Ottawa First Responders Foundation, focused on mental health support. There’s a 21km run, a 10km run, a 5km run, and a family 2km run. If you’re driving in the area of Abbott Street, from Stittsville Main to West Ridge, be aware of road closures this morning. Come on out and support the runners!
Good morning! Today I’m at Maestro Park. It’s on Maestro Avenue, one of the many “wind-themed” streets in the Fairwinds neighbourhood. Also nearby: Brisote, Maloja, and Limnos.
Good morning! Today I’m at the Abbott-Iber Woodlot on Abbott Street between Iber Road and Talltree Crescent. This maple grove was once part of the McCurdy farm.
Good morning! Today I’m in front of the new “Field Notes from Stittsville” mural on the side of Pretty Pots on Stittsville Main Street. Funded through Ottawa’s Paint It Up! program, this is a collaboration between artist Sacha French and the Stittsville Village Association, with help from a number of student volunteers. Thanks to Rona for donating paint supplies as well! We’ll be celebrating the mural launch this morning at 10:00 a.m.
Good morning! This week I’m at Jo-Jo's Community Garden on Stittsville Main Street. It’s a community garden and quite a special place in Stittsville, run entirely by volunteers. Besides the garden plots they also host special events and activities throughout the year.
