As the community ages, we need to ensure that our city is built for older residents. Join SWOOS and Capital Ward Councillor Shawn Menard  to talk about how the city can meet the needs of older adults.

It may seem a bit early to think of the celebrations planned for October 14-16, 2022, but now is the time to get your tickets. Lots of fun events are scheduled — see the Glebe100 website for all the details.

An amazing group of musicians, performers and speakers will present concerts Saturday and Sunday May 7 and 8, 2022 to raise money for the Canada-Ukraine Foundation.

Politicians need to hear your concerns, and letters count!  If the lack of primary care in our area and the problems with home care are important to you, please write to the candidates in our upcoming election – by email, by post or by both.  Feel free to copy the letter below as a guide, make changes or – better yet – make up your own.

Renovation of a century-old building is not for the faint-hearted, especially when the building has survived a century to become an architectural landmark in Ottawa, a monument to a way of life and a gathering place for generations of Ottawa families and friends.

The vision for the Clubhouse restoration was to bring new life to a grand old building, to extend its life span and make it a year-round place for community events. In fact, the project so far has resembled more of a rescue mission.

We love Brewer Park, so let’s work together to give it a good clean. On Saturday, April 23, 2022 from 10 a.m. to noon, we will be “Cleaning the Capital”.

We will provide bags and plastic gloves, but suggest B.Y.O.G (bring your own gloves) to provide a better fit and protection. Looking forward to seeing you on April 23rd underneath the pavilion! As the old adage goes: “Many hands make light work.”

This eight-author virtual event includes OOS’s Mary Lee Bragg and me, JC Sulzenko (reading under my pseudonym A. Garnett Weiss).

Following two years of mostly online worship, Trinity Anglican Church is thrilled to announce that they will be back in person for Easter this year. This Easter is especially special for this community-based church as they get ready to receive new refugee families and they launch their new worshiping community with a more contemporary vibe on Sunday afternoons at 4 pm.

Spring is in the air!
