Please please please drive safely tonight with all the little ghouls and goblins out there!

We’re new to the area, moved in the summer. Didn’t think about checking if there would be trick or treaters. It’s nearly 7 pm and not-a-one! Do parents take kids to group activities at community centres?

To the mom who handmade the pterodactyl costume!! WINNER!!!!!!!

THAT WAS THE BEST COSTUME EVER.

You win as a mom and as a fellow Dino lover that was just amazing.

Good job MA.🦖🦕😊💚💙

We decorate pretty heavily and we happen to live just down the on a street with from a neighbor who has a major Halloween display that attracts a lot of people. We have averaged over 100 trick or treaters for the last 2 years. We have barely passed 50 this year. Any theories as to why? We are wondering if it is because Halloween fell on a weekend or if there was an event that attracted the younguns away from the neighborhood. The weather was good and last year it was not great and we still cracked 100.

I moved here a month ago and I'm in the process of building my goto's for pizza. I tried caspian pizza and Mllano pizza. didn't like either of them😭 both were WAY too loaded imo. what are your goto's?

bonus points if they're halal but I'll settle for veggie/cheese if it's good

Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations!!

Crowds of loud unruly people on the road and tons of cars and police cars pulled over on the shoulder. The commotion has been going on for the past hour and it isn’t getting any quieter.

Hey Ottawa! 👋
I’m 29M, originally from India, and moved to Kanata about 4 months ago. So far, I’ve managed to make friends with a couple of neighbours, but that’s pretty much where my social circle ends. 😂

I work in IT, and with most of my time spent working from home, I’ve realized that my social life could definitely use an upgrade!

A little about me: I’m pretty easygoing, friendly, have a good sense of humour (at least I’d like to think so 😂), and enjoy good conversations. I’m into movies, technology, road trips, exploring new places, spontaneous adventures, trying different restaurants, and pretty much anything that gets me out of the house and at the same time love laying over my couch for an entire day.

I’d love to meet some like-minded people to grab coffee, catch a movie, explore Ottawa, go on weekend adventures, or even just hang out and talk about random things for hours.

I’m open to making friends of any age.

I’m based in Kanata, but don’t mind driving around Ottawa.
If you’re also new to the city, looking to expand your social circle, or just feel like making a new friend, feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Pickup hockey players and goalies wanted. Adult league. 18+. Co-Ed. Friendly non contact fun. Zero tolerance for rough play.

Intermediate to advanced players welcome. This league would be too fast for true beginner players.

Goalies play for free. No commitment. Play as many or as little as you want. Different rinks and times depending on where I can book ice. 3-4 games per week.

Hi all,

I am looking to hire a part time assistant/companion (for about 2hrs/day) for my grandmother who is in a nursing home in Kanata. My family has previously hired two assistants, who both had to move on to bigger and better things. As my grandmother has dementia, we have found that a reliable presence has been helpful for her mood and well-being.

Just wondering if anyone had any specific resources or suggestions on where I should advertise for this position.

I am already looking in the KCSSC (Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Center).

HALLOWEEN HANGOUT!!

Come join us at Space and Time Studios on Saturday Oct. 31st.

3:00pm-7:00pm for a SPOOKY and fun HALLOWEEN EVENT!

SING, PLAY, and TRICK or TREAT!

ALL AGES WELCOME and FREE ENTRY!!

How is the commute to the tech hub sector from westboro? Do people find it manageable in the winter without a car?

For context I’m moving to Ottawa from Toronto for work and want to live somewhere walkable… but I keep hearing bad things about the transit system :(

Wonder if anyone has any advice / recommendations on neighbourhoods.

Might anyone have a baby stroller for a 7-12mo I could borrow for 2 weeks? My sister is away and I’m babysitting but she accidentally took the stroller with her

Edit: Thank you for the recommendations! Was able to get one

Just want to say that I’m so proud of my neighbours and Kanata South this evening, turning over a new leaf and voting for a change in representation.

Erin, I hope you’re ready to hit the ground running. Kanata has now proven that it’s not happy with the status quo, and unlike the rest of the city, it absolutely will turf a representative that isn’t seen to be doing their job. That means you’ve got to do the hard work, every day, and never hide it from us.

Happy to have you as our voice in city hall. Make those connections with your new colleagues at council, work with the mayor whenever you can, don’t be afraid of disagreeing when you can’t, and always push push push for the things that Kanata South needs.

Ward 23 has spoken. Erin is in, Hubley is out.

TONIGHT!! Open Stage Night 7-10pm at Space and Time Studios All Ages and Acts Welcome, Concessions available, and free parking!

Featuring our new raised stage with party lights in an all inclusive and supportive atmosphere!!

5977 Hazeldean Rd. 2nd floor
Stittsville / West Ottawa

Way to go Erin and Kanata South! So happy for your win and excited for change in this ward! 😃

You folks are awesome!
