Child on the spectrum found running around our neighborhood. He is non verbal and currently with the ottawa police. Please call ottawa police if you know the child. And if you have any other idea on who else to contact as in social groups online please let me know so we can do that.

Edit: this happened on Decoeur drive Orleans. The boy is black and about 6 to 7 years old.

Update: Police SUV left my neighborhood a couple of minutes ago. I did not have the chance to ask if they could keep me updated just for peace of mind. But I am hopeful that they will reunite him with his family. Thank you to everyone

A gentleman posted on Facebook that the kayaks he built were stolen in Orleans. I’m posting to try and help him find them.

I recently had an anaphylactic reaction to a food allergy, and no sooner was I getting dropped off by an uber to my home was I calling 911. Between the ambulance and the hospital they gave me 4 shots of epinephrine, kept me 4 hours to monitor me and sent me packing. While I expected to be billed 250$ for the ambulance, my bill is 1100$ and mychart has my Ohip number on file.

This is a reasonable price to save my life, doesn’t OHIP cover me visiting emerg (540$), sleep studies (50$) and lab services (270$) ?

Edit: while mychart has a OHIP number on file, it must’ve changed and not been put up to date. I’ve been spending time away from my place but will be back in the morning to double check and call the billing department. Thank you everyone!

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to remind everyone of the province-wide protest against Doug Ford happening on (Saturday) July 25th, 2026. The same person who organized the June one is doing it again = same time + same location. This is only 3 days away :)

Please consider joining if you disagree with the many decisions of the Ford government lately!

July 25th, 2026 - 1 PM - Eagleson Rd & ON-417 – Eagleson Park & Ride in Kanata

** Bring signs! **

Now that flipp is only showing Metro ON flyers to ON postcodes and Metro QC flyers to QC postcodes, I've run my script twice, with two different postcodes. This has uncovered some interesting differences at Adonis, and a minor variation at GT; I hadn't realized that those stores also did per-province pricing.

Hi neighbours,

I’m looking for a Portuguese snack called ovos moles.

Anyone has recommendations as to where I can locate them?

Thank you!!

It seems these latest ads to linger downtown highlights an already existing capacity problem.

Rockin' Johnny's Diner at Meadowlands and Merivale is hiring experienced servers!!! They definitely seem short staffed. If you have serving experience or know someone who does, definitely encourage them to apply within.

(I'm not affiliated with the restaurant at all and have no other relevant information. I just visited the restaurant and saw the signage.)

Stittsville is getting a new indoor water park.

https://glengower.ca/development/2775-2785-palladium-zoning-by-law-amendment-and-site-plan-control/

"The City has received Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control applications for 2775 & 2785 Palladium Drive and the unaddressed parcel on Culdaff Road (directly across from 2775 & 2785 Palladium Drive) to permit the development of a destination-oriented recreational facility consisting of an indoor water park, family entertainment centre, 236-room hotel, accessory restaurant and associated parking and site works."

My go to spot, for buying, good fluffy towels was The Bay. Are there any recommended options now that it is gone?

Hoping to get some direction as to what others have done for childminding.

FTM returning to work this fall, I have been on daycare lists through the City the moment I found out I was pregnant. So, I have been on the list since September 2024. I am contacting the daycares and they're telling me that my child is 12, 16, 20th etc. on their waitlists. And that they're all full.

I couldn't have possibly signed up any earlier. How are people getting into daycare? My child will be 16 months when they start.

I signed up for Wee Watch after hearing someone recently pivoted to that. However, the area of town I am in/work in are all full for September and the waitlist there is 400.

Are people using alternative measures? Nanny shares? Help! How did you get childcare?

Been living in the GTA for the past years. After getting laid off in late May I found a new job in Ottawa so I'll be moving back after almost 5 years! I made a post about leaving Ottawa with pictures I took with (at the time) a new camera I got as graduation gift to myself: https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/s/xaMs63i93W

I went to uOttawa and lived in Sandy Hill from 2017-2021 so I'm fairly familiar with the downtown area.

This time though I will be living in Westboro! I remember after Covid restrictions lifted a bit I got a bike and did some exploring using the bike paths along the river and canal. I remember thinking to myself that if I were to come back to Ottawa I would want to live in the Westboro area. Now that I have a better paying job and I was able to find a decently affordable place in Westboro I'm pretty happy I get the chance to do that.

Not sure if this post is allowed, just kind of excited to be in Ottawa again and maybe take better pictures after having more experience with my camera, so let me know of any cool photo spots. I also love discovering good food so if anyone has recommendations for new places let me know in the comments.

As the title states, I'm looking for a tattoo artist in Ottawa who is familiar with dungeon crawler Carl and would like to design a piece for me

I was just informed via email that I no longer have monthly parking at this lot as of August 1. My guess is they know that they can make more money charging people a daily rate now that we are back in the office 4 days a week.

Hi! Are there any good places to get Trinidad Doubles/Pholourie in Ottawa? I’ve been craving it lately but still relatively new to the area. Preferably around the Nepean area, but feel free to suggest other places in Ottawa! If I’m in that area I’ll stop to get them :)
