Civic hospital construction questions and costs "an abomination." Ottawa taxpayers to possibly be paying 3x the estimated cost in taxes. Source: CFRA Morning Rush: Civic hospital construction questions. Bill Carroll from The Morning Rush shared his thoughts on questions over the construction timeline and costs of the Ottawa hospital's new civic campus. Unfortunately, I can't share the link due to Government regulations. In response to Canadian government legislation, news content can't be shared.

Thanks to the many Reimagine Ottawa volunteers who assisted today at the Great Glebe Garage Sale 2026 and to Angela Keller-Herzog, for donating her front lawn every year for our event. Angela Keller-Herzog - OttawaCentre Thank you to those who donated items. Thank-you, we very much appreciated the multiple hands, eyes, salesmanship AND those who carted stuff away today at/from the GGGS with a ‘bumper’ year of goods. Diane, our ‘banker’ will report back and I’ll let you know with what we’re replenishing our ‘war chest’.

Enjoy your well-deserved evening!

Good night.

Princess Margriet will attend the opening of the Tulip Festival Saturday May 9 Commissioner's Park 11 a.m.

Come out and ask her what she thinks of the park named after her mother.

We are thrilled to welcome you to our nation’s capital for a 74-year tradition that celebrates beauty, renewal, and history. As you walk through Commissioners Park at Dow’s Lake, you aren’t just looking at over a million blooms—you are walking through a living tribute to a historic bond of i...

But we paved over her namesake park -"Queen Juliana Park" - for a parking garage. Sad.

If you haven't seen Queen Juliana Park recently, here it is with a monstrous garage built on the land once designated as a WWII veteran's memorial.

Landsdowne Great Lawn Gone! Recent photos show the destruction. No more City Folk here?

Election 2026. We believe residents deserve to be at the centre of Ottawa’s decision-making processes. Over the past two decades, the city has reduced genuine public engagement to information sessions held after critical decisions have been made. The result has been city support for a new hospital taking 60 acres from the Experimental Farm, an abysmal LRT, the suspect Tewin development that expanded the city boundary, and the financially shaky Lansdowne project — all of which generated significant citizen opposition. That’s four too many poor development decisions. Decisions like these affect how we get around in our city, the neighbourhoods we live in, and the quality of our green spaces, roads and our lives in Ottawa.

Let’s take this October election as our opportunity to elect a few more citizen-friendly members to council. We hope you will respond to this email if you are able to support our effort in any way, large or small.

Great Glebe Garage Sale, May 23

We will be selling again at 166 Glebe Ave. (at Lyon). Anything you have to donate except clothing would be hugely appreciated. Call Angela (613-237-0093) to arrange a drop off. If you don’t reach her, leave a message and drop off your contributions in front of her garage at 48 Riverdale Ave. She’ll secure them as soon as she returns.

OR deliver them on the 23d as early as possible to our table.

Don’t forget to put price stickers on your donations!

If you enjoy the grand chaos of the sale, we are still seeking a few volunteers to help on the day - - call Richard if you can take a shift (613-808-9719). Or just drop by to say hello!
