It’s mid-January, and the days are slowly starting to get longer. I visited Parc Omega with my wife last weekend for her birthday and made some animal friends, but I think the friendship is one-sided. I think the animals only liked me for the carrots.

Happy New Year!
Early yesterday morning, I parked my car at Bowesville Station and took a ride on the first-ever scheduled northbound trip on O-Train Line 2.
Although I’ve been on the Trillium Line twice before it opened, seeing it finally in passenger service and seeing how the general public interacted with the new system was different!
City updates
Are you looking for an opportunity to put your environmental ideas into action? The City of Ottawa is now accepting applications for the 2025 Community Environmental Projects Grant Program (CEPGP).
If you enjoy winter activities like skating, skiing, and sledding, please keep safety in mind as you and your loved ones head out to play. A properly fitted helmet, used for the sport or activity it is designed for, can help protect your head and reduce the risk of a serious brain injury.
Going to Winterlude this year in the Nation’s Capital? Ride the Sno-Bus for free to several official Winterlude sites. Hop on a Sno-Bus on Elgin Street at Sparks Street. Look for buses signed “Sno-Bus” at bus stops marked by Sno-Bus signs.
There are multiple services to help support entrepreneurs through the process of owning a business. Programs and services like the Business Ambassador Program and Business Licensing Centre are examples of these supports in action.
Love is in the air at the Library. Bring your kids to the Ruth E. Dickinson Branch for some Valentine’s Day fun ahead of the big day.
