People across Lanark County and Sharbot Lake hid indoors for hours while OPP searched for two “armed” men. Turns out it was bad info. But police never clarified when they cancelled alert. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

This resident messaged me the night my first story was published. (Aerial footage showed hundreds or thousands of trees clearcut on future Tewin lands). She took a video to get the noise of heavy machinery still working behind her house. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… #OttNews #OttCity

Today will be #OttCity's final vote on the 2023 budget. No setup piece from me this morning, though, because I have been spending time at the city's urban boundary, reading the tree protection bylaw etc., trying to sort this out:
