Inspiring to see all the runners out this morning. And, the neighborhoods across #OttCity coming together to cheer them on. #LoveThisCity #OurOttawa #Hintonburg #GetOutside #KeepFitAndHaveFun
It's a beautiful morning for the @TartanHomes Ottawa International Marathon and Ottawa Half Marathon presented by @DesjardinsGroup!

The opposite of #addiction is not sobriety, it’s connection! To help, we need to #StopTheShame. Stop using punishment as a motivator. Proud of the @DaveSmithYouth for creating a positive, supportive space for #youth to reconnect. #DutyOfCare #EndTheStigma

Vaccination day!! Thank you to the team at the @OttawaHospital #CivicCampus. Had the pleasure of meeting Nancy this morning who administered the #PfizerBioNTech vaccine.

Once again, well done @OttawaHealth putting this latest announcement into perspective.

🎶SCHOOOLLLS OUT -- NOT SO FAST, ALICE COOPER!
So, schools are opening. Is this a good thing or a risky thing? Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: read these 15 tweets (sorry)
Schools aren't opening because "things are great". Literally nothing about this is cause to relax. (1/15)

Definitely a few speed bumps last year. Wishing all in the twitterverse a healthy year ahead.
@CountingCrows for the win!

Tough news today.
Numbers don't lie! Residents have been respectful of health guidance to #FlattenTheCurve #COVID19
Feeling for children moved to online learning. Also, small businesses in #OurOttawa that contribute so much to quality of life in hoods.

NEW: Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson says the city was "blindsided" by the decision to lock Ottawa down for 28 days and there is no evidence to justify it.
Dr. Vera Etches and the mayor are pushing for a 14-day lockdown instead. #ottnews

We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walking a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

Fun dinner time facts from a 4 year old. "Dad, did you know a pterodactyl is as tall as a giraffe?" No way buddy ... let me check that on google. True story 😂

@BillGates predicted the pandemic c2015. "Greatest risk for global catastrophe is microbes not missiles!"
Reminds me of Dan Pink "there is a mismatch between what the science knows and business does".
