One of the options should be High-Frequency Rail (HFR) – in other words, fixing the VIA rail system we have to provide faster, more reliable service.

Last week I had the opportunity to speak on Your Morning Ottawa about International Women’s Day. We were talking about something that might sound simple but is actually incredibly powerful for our health: the way women support one another.

CONSTANCE BAY – Branch 616 is ready for the coming season of spring and summer events, both standing and planned.

We lived in West Carleton Township, a rural municipality on the west side of the City of Ottawa, adjacent to Kanata. There were several small towns in our township, including Carp, Dunrobin, Kinburn and Constance Bay, and many clustered areas of residential development along the Ottawa River and in the hills around Carp.

I agree with MP Bruce Fanjoy that federal employees should not be forced back to work at this time, not for the reasons put forth by Fanjoy but because Ottawa does not have a reasonable transportation system to accommodate additional travellers in cars or public transit.

The Bank of Ottawa opened in Carp in April of 1902. It was bought out by the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) in January of 1919.
