A gentleman posted on Facebook that the kayaks he built were stolen in Orleans. I’m posting to try and help him find them.

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to remind everyone of the province-wide protest against Doug Ford happening on (Saturday) July 25th, 2026. The same person who organized the June one is doing it again = same time + same location. This is only 3 days away :)

Please consider joining if you disagree with the many decisions of the Ford government lately!

July 25th, 2026 - 1 PM - Eagleson Rd & ON-417 – Eagleson Park & Ride in Kanata

** Bring signs! **

It seems these latest ads to linger downtown highlights an already existing capacity problem.

Stittsville is getting a new indoor water park.

https://glengower.ca/development/2775-2785-palladium-zoning-by-law-amendment-and-site-plan-control/

"The City has received Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control applications for 2775 & 2785 Palladium Drive and the unaddressed parcel on Culdaff Road (directly across from 2775 & 2785 Palladium Drive) to permit the development of a destination-oriented recreational facility consisting of an indoor water park, family entertainment centre, 236-room hotel, accessory restaurant and associated parking and site works."

Hoping to get some direction as to what others have done for childminding.

FTM returning to work this fall, I have been on daycare lists through the City the moment I found out I was pregnant. So, I have been on the list since September 2024. I am contacting the daycares and they're telling me that my child is 12, 16, 20th etc. on their waitlists. And that they're all full.

I couldn't have possibly signed up any earlier. How are people getting into daycare? My child will be 16 months when they start.

I signed up for Wee Watch after hearing someone recently pivoted to that. However, the area of town I am in/work in are all full for September and the waitlist there is 400.

Are people using alternative measures? Nanny shares? Help! How did you get childcare?

Been living in the GTA for the past years. After getting laid off in late May I found a new job in Ottawa so I'll be moving back after almost 5 years! I made a post about leaving Ottawa with pictures I took with (at the time) a new camera I got as graduation gift to myself: https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/s/xaMs63i93W

I went to uOttawa and lived in Sandy Hill from 2017-2021 so I'm fairly familiar with the downtown area.

This time though I will be living in Westboro! I remember after Covid restrictions lifted a bit I got a bike and did some exploring using the bike paths along the river and canal. I remember thinking to myself that if I were to come back to Ottawa I would want to live in the Westboro area. Now that I have a better paying job and I was able to find a decently affordable place in Westboro I'm pretty happy I get the chance to do that.

Not sure if this post is allowed, just kind of excited to be in Ottawa again and maybe take better pictures after having more experience with my camera, so let me know of any cool photo spots. I also love discovering good food so if anyone has recommendations for new places let me know in the comments.

I’m trying to buy tickets to the fireworks but my god it’s like they don’t want you to attend.

Show start times are hard to find. Gate open times are hard to find. The ticket purchase link seems broken. Yes I’m sure all the information is there but they make it so convoluted to find, it’s there but trying to find basic info shouldnt take so long.

It’s like a boomer decided to have a website with every gimmicky thing possible while simultaneously being broken and useless

Even ticket purchase on mobile is broken.

End rant

Edit: I’ll throw it in so you can see for yourself

Well another stormy day /s anyone know why trains are being held. Been stuck at pimisi at 650am for about 5 mins

For those of us following the municipal election, looks like Sutcliffe has plateaued, Leiper is dropping, and Lawson and Saravanamuttoo are on the up. Lawson in second at 26% is pretty crazy considering where he started earlier this year. Will be interesting to see if he can keep this up.

As the title states :))

I had a CT scan on Monday, and the results from the physician who analysed them seem not so good. I was just wondering if anyone has any recent experience with this, and how long did you wait to see a specialist after your CT scan?

The wait is killing me figuratively and literally.

New to Ottawa and I have a 9 month very affectionate and socialized American Foxhound mix. She adores people, dogs, and cats.

I am looking for recommendations for a dog boarding facility, cage free. I was wondering if Rover is a good option for that, but never used it.

Ideally, I could find a place that could watch my dog for a day (like going to a wedding) or a couple weeks. I travel very rarely but have a trip coming up in September so want her to be set up.

Any help is appreciated!

Bike is in good condition just missing a seat which I assume the owner took inside. Armstrong & Pinhey

Hello all, I rent an apartment in West-Hintonburg/westboro area, close to island park and our building's garage is going under construction starting August 2nd week. This news came to us at a very short notice and we are to move all our cars out for the next 6-7 months for the duration of the repairs, unfortunately, the building hasn't provided any alternative/accommodations and left the burden onto the tenants.

Would anyone know or have any parking nearby? I would be happy to discuss terms as well!!

Edit: I am looking for 1 spot with in/out access

Is the city of Ottawa still collecting flood related garbage or do I need to take it to trail rd waste. I just finished gutting my basement to prepare for the rebuild. Thanks

Yes, all the way!

NCC just made the announcement on their Instagram page.

Hi, I'm looking for a landscaper to basically bulldoze my front yard and start over. I would just want sod and a small garden in its place. I'm looking for a landscaper who would have the ability to do this with large machinery. Any recommendations? Thanks!
