Spencer Radford is running for Bay Ward city councillor and wants to know what small infrastructure issues locals have noticed — overflowing garbage cans, missing bus shelters, traffic lights that run too long or too short. Not the big transit and housing stuff, just the annoying stuff.
An Ottawa-based LAN party group that started in early 2025 is bringing four PCs and 20+ year old games to Vintage Computer Fest Montreal this November.

Earl Armstrong closes between Limebank and Bowesville next week—completely cuts off the Bowesville park and ride unless you go around.

r/ottawa is crowdsourcing right now — someone's looking for archery options for their 6-year-old but every club, lesson, and camp they've found is geared toward older kids. If you know a place that'll take them, they want to know.
Two groups spotted downtown around 10:30 this morning carrying spray-painted recliners and a love seat, all with signatures and graffiti. Blue and white shirts with the same treatment. The only text anyone could make out: "F Buffalo." If you know what this was, r/ottawa wants answers.
