Earlier this week, while undergoing dental work an ill-timed twitch by Boris badly damaged a piece of equipment. It is reported that Boris feels terrible about this incident but that being said The Ottawa Humane Society is looking for donations in order to replace this equipment and carry on with much needed dental procedures.

After extensive renovations, the NCC River House is now open, providing a new spot to swim in the Ottawa River. Additional details in CTVNews blog post.

Back in the day when the LRT was but a plan I remember it being said that construction would happen along the LRT line. Well as presented in a blog post by the CBC that seems to be more now in the works. More than a dozen multi tower projects are being proposed.

The article goes on to state that though there is often objections to the proposal of towers they can have a positive impact to the community. I have heard of this from residents of Vanier near 70 or 90 Landry – stating that the area did not seem safe to walk in at night in the past but with a changed demographic from the additional residents in the towers the area was improved.

The following proposals are detailed:

• 265 Centrum
• Kanata North
• Lansdowne 2.0
• 2000 City Park
• 829 Carling Avenue
• 400 Coventry
• Former Greyhound station
• 1047 Richmond Road
• 665 Albert Street
• 2026 Scott
• 2 Robinson
• Standard Bread Building
• 2946 Baseline Road
• 70-80 Woodridge
• 1640-1660 Carling Avenue
