My Ottawa

One of the oldest surviving philanthropic organizations in Ottawa, the Laurentian Chapter of the IODE continues to make philanthropic history.

Hopefully Ottawans agree that it would be phenomenal if every living soul, in every country, community and family came to overwhelm the world with kindness in 2020

Our first hike turned out to be 5 kms through a wooded path with many flooded areas where we slogged through the boggy trail in water soaked running shoes.

Here, the Parkway is true to its name, offering views of parklands and trees, a hint of sculpted nature just at the edge of the city.

One of the many aspects of Ottawa I love is the diversity of personalities - from elegant diplomats to pierced teenagers - I encounter during my volunteer work as a gardener at the Ottawa Public Library.
