    Glad everyone loves the new art. 😘 Now that we have your attention, this piece has quite a profound message. The artwork invites us to reflect on how we impact our environment and the creatures that inhabit our shared spaces.

    The #BywardBear was in excellent shape when he was released. He’s now in the Lanark area forest. The juvenile male of about 70 kg now wears a yellow earring to identify him in case he is recaptured. #ottnews #ottawa

    Dear all: our bad! In an attempt to balance access to the outdoors & public health directives, “🚫📷” signs were installed to discourage gathering points at the 🌷 beds. They'll be removed first thing tomorrow. Feel free to snap a photo as you walk by, while social distancing.

    It has come to our attention that after we worked to assure the removal of propane & diesel cannisters earlier today, more cannisters were brought to the site later this afternoon. We have notified @OttawaPolice & are seeking their assistance in removing the cannisters once again

    Our Board of Directors approved today the Algonquin name Kichi Zībī Mīkan (kitchi zee-bee MEE-khan) to replace the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. The name Kichi Zībī Mīkan means “Great River Road,” and was chosen based of an Indigenous naming and engagement exercise. #ottnews
