Reprieve for the Post Office
Old Ottawa South residents will be relieved to learn that the Post Office located in the Quickie Convenience Store will remain where it is, at least for the foreseeable future.

The Company of Adventurers Presents Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost
We are thrilled to announce this year’s Company of Adventurers production, William Shakespeare’s zany comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost!
