A Different Kind of House Music – Music On McLean
Ottawa, have you met the neighbors? You’re going to love what they’ve been up to! They’re practically right next door – just down the highway in a real next door kind of way. If you love great music making in an intimate and relaxed, fuss free setting, the Music on
Fresh and Contemporary at the Crosby Street Hotel NYC
Having come across some photos of a weekend get-a-way with girlfriends to New York City last spring, I was reminded of my experience lounging in the drawing room at the Crosby Street Hotel. Kit Kemp's interior design is a source of inspiration to be sure. The use of varying shades

The Queen and I by Swedish-Iranian film maker Nahid Persson Sarvestani will feature this month as part of Bright Lights; The Baltic-Nordic Film Festival.

DIVA Foundation Empowers Women Through Education
“A wise person once said ‘show me a sick child and I will show you a sick woman,’” said Grace Betts, chair and president of Ottawa’s DIVA Foundation. “And if you continue, it should read, ‘show me a sick woman employee and I will show you a stressful, unhealthy and
Post-Post-Jordan: The Dawn of a New Era in the NBA
When Michael Jordan walked away from the game of basketball in 1998 (discounting his forgettable comeback with the Washington Wizards three years later), it was unclear who would step up in his absence and take control of the NBA. Jordan’s Chicago Bulls had won six of the last eight league
Is Liberalism Dead in Canada?
On election night in my area of North Toronto, the cold days that dominated most of April were finally being driven out by the warm gusts of spring. Perhaps that is why few people noticed the gusts of change that were about to sweep across the Canadian political landscape. Everyone
The Dreaded Dress Code: What to Wear to a Summer Wedding
Warm weather brings barbeques, patios, beaches, and, of course, weddings. With the sunny months of June, July and August as some of the most popular choices for wedding dates, an invitation to a friend’s nuptials comes as no surprise. But with the ceremonies and subsequent celebrations comes the dreaded dilemma
Inspiring Change through Housing for Homeless Women
Located at 314 Booth Street, it was uplifting to see Cornerstone's new housing project for homeless women come to fruition. Official opening celebrations were on May 25, 2011! The new 42-bed residential site will provide permanent housing and supports such as nutritious meals, recreational programs, spiritual programs, social programs, and
Kevin McNamara’s Quest for the Stanley Cup
Kevin McNamara has come as close to the Stanley Cup as any other Ottawa hockey fan – he attended Games 3 and 4 of the 2006-07 Cup Finals at Scotiabank Place, where he watched his beloved Senators split two contests with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. While the Sens would
A Fun and Fresh Way to Step Into Spring
This spring, you need only remember four words when it comes to fashion: brights, prints, mid-length and white. According to Style.com, and the abundance of designer collections the site features, these are some of the biggest trends for spring 2011. These trends may appear daunting at first glance – especially
Ottawa International Animation Festival: That’s More Than All Folks!
Film buff? Art lover? Can’t get your fill of cartoons (Saturday morning or otherwise)? Do you feel the need to feel that buzz, and be a part of it too, when your town becomes a centre of a universe for one spectacular animated week? Then save these dates: September 21st
Publisher’s Message May 8, 2011
On election night my friend, a long-time Liberal, called me and said, “well, that’s what happens to a Party that tries to be everything to everyone and stands for nothing at all.” The great Liberal Party of Canada, the Party of Laurier, King, St. Laurent, Pearson and Trudeau had been
Our Shifting Political Landscape
“Politics,” as Michael Ignatieff graciously acknowledged last night, “offers hard lessons we all must learn.” This is not only a hard truth for defeated politicians and for those who still invest hopes in the political process. It is also the case for prognosticators of the political scene. It’s not so
Why Isn’t Health Care A Major Campaign Issue?
Canadians’ commitment to a publicly funded universally based health care system remains as strong as ever. Yet the debate over the future of health care continues to rage on. The competing narratives should be by now familiar. On the one hand, commentators incessantly remind us that our health-care system is
Ottawa Chamberfest 2011
It is soon time again for merry chamber music making Ottawa style as Ottawa Chamberfest 2011 is just around the corner. It’s the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, and it promises an exciting, diverse array of music and music-related performances and presentations. The plans for this year's festival includes a host
Public Service campaign defends future of professionals and vital services to Canadians
Come election time, ballots turn into wagers as every Canadian’s vested interest in what will happen with their tax dollars is left in the hands of the future, undetermined government. The stakes are high for one particular group of professionals who create a large proportion of Ottawa’s population and who
A Royal ParTea with Jeanne Beker
Ottawa's fashion darling Julia Vorob’eva attended a "Royal Partea" and met with Jeanne Beker to discuss fashion and her new label EDIT. Julia Vorob’eva is a fashion blogger from The Fashion Keeper and is involved with Blackbook Lifestyle. She interviews local stylists, designers and bloggers, and talks about the latest trends in
Greener days are not ahead: Where is Elizabeth May and the Green Party in this campaign?
Today is the first anniversary of the explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig located in the U.S. Gulf coast that killed twelve men and initiated the worst oil spill in history. But even the memory of that tragic episode will not prevent similar endeavors in Canada’s Arctic. On the contrary,
And there are tulips there too!
It is spring and that wonderful, all-Ottawa, flower filled festival will soon be upon us again. Once known as The Ottawa Tulip Festival, the Canadian Tulip Festival beckons out to, and engages, visitors from all over the world. The history reads like some kind of lush fairytale set in the
Ottawa’s new kid on the icon block
Rising out of the east bank of the Rideau canal, just a shadow’s cast from The Chateau Laurier in downtown Ottawa – like a giant B-movie, gently marauding clam - ballooning like the croaking of an amphibious swollen throat and jowl – wedged in like a ‘Day The World Stood
Assessing the English Debate: Who won? Call it a draw.
How should we assess the only English language debate in this year’s election campaign? My first impression is that Harper won, although not decisively. If it was a boxing match and Stephen Harper was the defending champion, he would win by virtue of it being declared a draw. The other
Fashion Inspires Home Decor
Inspiration is all around you - translate fashion to your home's decor! I splurged on this Coach handbag while on vacation as I love the color story of beige gold, silver hardware and lilac purple. I admit my decor inspired my fashion first. The handbag just happens to share the
Fear Factor: What is Stephen Harper so afraid of?
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party strike me as relatively unprepared for this election. Or if they are prepared, they certainly seem complacent. This may account for the recycling of a tired old strategy in the early weeks of the campaign. Every policy announcement is framed within the
OLM Q&A: Demü leads Ottawa’s fashion scene as iconic force
Developing an iconic brand in Ottawa may be challenging for some, but local design team Angie Fisher and Andre Bellemare of Demü are defying the city's conservative style stigma with innovative designs and high quality garments. Drawing inspiration each year from a different source, the dynamic duo prove they aren't the
