Happy Friday! How’s your week going? I usually start these off with a week of weather in review, but it’s simply getting too unpredictable! I’ve worn my parka more than once this week, so that’s saying something. Cool temperatures are ideal for my favourite thing these days: staying home!! Speaking of, here’s a few ideas […]
Happy Friday! Did you enjoy that burst of November spring this week? I’m sad to see it go. Although, it helps given all the lingering feelings of daylight savings time and that post-election stress. It’s been a good week for some normalcy, though! Santa Claus is coming to town and CityFolk will happen, just a […]
It’s been another interesting week in the capital! We move into the orange phase tomorrow, which means restaurants, gyms and theatres are able to open again. Meanwhile, our neighbours to the south are in the midst of a historical election and it’s been top of mind all week long. Have you been feeling the stress and anxiety? I […]
Happy Halloween weekend! What are you getting up to? Cooler temperatures this week make the discouragement of trick-or-treating in the capital a little easier to swallow.

Hey, how’s it going? You might be feeling a little at odds this week, with the go-ahead for trick-or-treating coming from Canada’s top doctor, while here in the capital, Dr. Etches is encouraging you to stay in.

SHOPPING All malls are closed Monday, with the exception of Rideau Centre which will be OPEN from 10 AM to 6 PM. Some businesses in the ByWard Market and in the Glebe are allowed to […]
It’s been an interesting week in the capital. Cases are way up and we are on the cusp of moving from Code Orange to Code Red, which would likely involve a huge move backwards from the progress and the re–openings we’ve seen in the city. While Dr. Vera Etches doesn’t want to make that move because it […]
How are you doing? It has been a tough week in our city. COVID-19 cases are spiking and we’ve been asked to reduce our social interactions to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors. The province has announced more COVID-19 testing sites will open across the city to help alleviate longer waiting times but with that […]
