Watch my life unravel...

Cara asks “What do you like most about Ottawa?” I’ve lived my whole adult life, as well as portions of my childhood, in Ottawa.

I read with interest yesterday that in the interests of holding our tax increase to 3.9%,  the City of Ottawa is considering getting rid of Crime Prevention Ottawa.

Youville child care staff in a quiet moment I recently had the privilege of taking a tour of Youville Centre, as part of the United Way’s Seeing is Believing tour.
