It's mainly been used for flock camera locations down south but interesting that we have so many dome cameras downtown.

To find it go to layers and click surveillance.

I just wanted to say thank you! My phone must’ve pushed my keys in my pocket and opened the trunk while I was walking away.

If this somehow reaches you, please DM me with the location where my car was parked (to confirm it’s actually you) and I’d be happy to buy you a coffee as thanks :)

Saravanamuttoo -- please pull out

414 Upvotes

Saravanamuttoo's candidacy has been unexpected and interesting. But he's still trailing Leiper, and well behind Sutcliffe.

Consolidating alternative support against Sutcliffe gives the city a fighting chance to not end up with another four years of the smooth talking, do nothing, corporate real estate candidate.

If Saravanamuttoo truly believes Sutcliffe is the wrong man for the job, the right thing to do would be to pull out now, and enthusiastically encourage his supporters to vote Leiper.

I'm not in any way connected to any campaign of any kind.

Missing Cat?

Post image
25 Upvotes

sorry not sure if this sub allows this but seen this quite young cat by Walkley Station at around 5:50pm and wasn’t sure if it was lost. It’s just playing around with something likely in the grass. I haven’t really seen any wild cats in or around the area and it seems like a terrible spot to let them roam free as it’s quite busy with traffic. perhaps it is wild- but i’m not sure.

Looking for... What design document does Ottawa use for building streets?

Thumbnail gallery
12 Upvotes

Does Ottawa use a design standard or guide when building streets/intersections/pathways?

I ask because the city seems to have so many different types of crossings and infrastructure, and no one seems to know how to use any of it properly.

I am curious to know if there is a publically available standard that the city uses, or if the city uses something like the Dutch CROW guide, or the Oslo street guide?

The Ottawa Redblacks win a football game!

They end the 22 game losing streak, 3 shy of the all time CFL record. This win puts them 1-17 for the season.

(The game also had an insane ending, worth watching highlights. The CFL is a great league)

Local Business Looking for a good pharmacy

7 Upvotes

I’ve been at the Shoppers on Rideau at Nelson for over fifteen years but the customer service has deteriorated to the point of uselessness. The last prescription I dropped off they just straight up didn’t bother to fill because “it was going to be five days until we could get it.”

I’m looking for recommendations and reviews.

I’d particularly like to know if people have experience with the pharmacies at Loblaws Rideau, the IDA at Rideau and Friel, the pharmacy at UOttawa and the Shoppers at the Rideau Centre. I’m wiling to go farther afield but thought I’d start with the nearest.
