As we wait for more snow, read how Ottawa snow groomer Dave Adams inspired a growing network of urban cross-country ski trails, via @globeandmail: theglobeandmail.com/politics…
Once the snow sticks, you can find over 100 km of community-maintained trails in the Capital.

How can we make Ottawa the "city of play" instead of the "city that fun forgot"?
I'll be on a panel for @OAWfest tonight discussing that topic with @sbg_arch, @GraemeHussey, @DomLint, Penny Lee Colbourne from @apt613 and Court Curry from @ottawacity.
At LeBreton Flats, our experts are taking #OpenNCC participants on a walking tour and sharing stories about the site’s history and #BuildingLeBreton plans for its future.
This project will transform a 29-hectare site into a destination and community with parks and amenities.
Want to know more about the newly renovated NCC River House? Curious about the big ideas behind Building LeBreton? Passionate about archeology?
Join us for #OpenNCC next Saturday, Sept 23rd!

Allow me to add to the chorus of appreciation for @JCHIANELLO's work over the years to speak truth the power, ask hard questions, and pursue the truth despite many roadblocks placed in her path. There is no one like her!
I was lucky to sit with @JCHIANELLO (and other incredible journalists) in media row at City Hall and watch her in action, learn from her and of course, be entertained by her. Joanne, I can't wait to see how you apply your incredible intelligence next!
The recent passing of Caroline Andrew has made us take stock of her life's work, exploring and promoting inclusivity, community life, urban politics, and the role of neighbourhoods. She inspired the theme for this year: building bridges across divides.
