It is brutally cold out there. If you or anyone you know needs access to a warm place, call 311. We can arrange transportation and someone will direct you to the right place to go. The @ottawapublichealth.ca website has a list of shelters and warming spaces: www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-he...

@ottawahumane.bsky.social is having a pet food drive Dec 3-14. Dry dog and cat food but any unopened pet food is great. Drop off:
OHS, 245 West Hunt Club Rd
Prancing Paws, 1090 Moselle Cr
Ren’s Pets Kanata, 155 Roland Michener Dr
No one should choose between feeding themselves or their pet!

Today, the Int'l Day for Persons with Disabilities, I wanted to share that the PXO at Centrepointe Drive has a new feature. Students at Sir Guy Carleton did a workshop with City Staff and improved the accessibility of the PXO by adding an extension for those who use mobility devices off the curb.

The southbound Moodie Drive on-ramp at Highway 417 westbound (that's a mouthful) has re-opened, as of this afternoon. It had been closed since September as part of LRT construction.

Zoning seems like such a dry subject, but it's one I hear from residents about a lot! If you ever have concerns about a new development in your neighbourhood, a new business opening, or issues like backyard parking, those are all Zoning By-law questions.
