Check out the ❄️❄️❄️ Parking update for tonight from Councillor David Brown - Ward 21

Special Advisory: Overnight Winter Weather Parking Ban

An overnight winter weather parking ban will be in effect across Ottawa tonight due to weather conditions.

When: Thursday, January 15 (7:00 pm) to Friday, January 16 (7:00 am)

What to do: Please remove vehicles from the roadway so snow crews can clear streets safely and effectively.

Winter Parking Ban Information:

Between November 15 and April 1, the City may declare a Winter Weather Parking Ban for significant winter conditions, such as freezing rain, or when Environment Canada forecasts 7 cm or more of snow (including forecast ranges that include 7 cm or more).

These bans help crews clear streets more efficiently and safely, and they remain in effect until the City announces they have been lifted.

With the exception of significant or rapidly changing weather events, Roads and Parking Services aims to:

🔹 Call an overnight ban around 9 am the day of the event (overnight bans run 7 pm to 7 am)
🔹 Call a daytime ban around 3:30 pm the day before the event (daytime bans run 10 am to 7 pm)

When a Winter Weather Parking Ban is called, the City shares updates through a special advisory to local media and posts updates on the City’s website. Residents can also:

You know…the world feels heavy - and is…

…so finding your way to take mini-breaks is important.

Whether you foster rescue dogs, search out the most delicious ice cream, or perhaps find humour in the most inappropriate things - p**p and farts will always be funny to us. 💩😊

We hear you and we’re so sorry.

We are officially apologizing for your noticeable boost to your physical and mental health, to the fact you can actually manage that post-holiday (or work policy change!) back-to-work shift and the irresistible urge to put “you” into your own schedule!
Our bad.

Please register for this free virtual webinar with our friend, Dr. Kerri Fullerton, ND & The Diet Rebellion

(If enough local Richmond folks wish, we can throw a local watch party at Willow as well?)

The risks of weight loss and weight cycling aren’t talked about nearly as often as the benefits.

Have you ever noticed how rarely those risks are part of the conversation before you’re encouraged to try again?

I’m Dr. Kerri Fullerton, a naturopathic doctor with over 20 years in practice, and I work with people who care deeply about their health but were often asked to change their bodies without being given the full context.

In this free webinar, I walk through what the research actually shows about weight loss, weight cycling, and health, including what’s commonly left out of weight-focused advice.
We’ll look at how stigma and repeated weight loss attempts can affect health outcomes, and what weight-neutral care really means in practice.

This isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about making sure decisions are informed, not assumed.
