#Ottawa neighbours, if you see wild parsnip - "The plant sap contains chemicals that may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to burning and blistering when exposed to the sun" https://ottawa.ca/en/living-ottawa/environment-conservation-and-climate/wildlife-and-plants/invasive-species

The city is very responsive! Let them know where it is!

Put on the towing harness for a trail run and pulled one of the kids around on the trails in a sled.

Primary benefit: base

Ultimate benefit: Being able to say, "Yer Mudder's a badass!" mid run!

This intersection is awful. Drivers do not check for people using the crosswalk. This is part of my regular running route and I have experienced near misses many times. The scary part is the pedestrian that died a few weeks ago got hit on another intersection that drivers don't look for pedestrians on.

Yet our new mayor is more worried about the war on cars than safety for #OttBike #OttWalk #OttawaRunners
