Has Ottawa Gone to the Dogs?

Miss Vicky Sun Aug 22, 2010

There's a new mayoral candidate this week. Her name is Cleo.



Judging from her twitter feed, she's going to be an active, engaging candidate.

Welcome to the race, Cleo. Can't wait to hear more about your platform! If we support you, will Hintonburg finally get a dog park?

Sweltering? Shakespeare!

Miss Vicky Wed Jul 7, 2010

If Bluesfest's not your bag, Salamander Theatre is bringing its annual production to McCormick Park and Lemieux Island this week. There are a number of Hintonburgers involved, so check it out!

This year's show is Romeo and Juliet. Starts at7pm at McCormick Park on July 8, and at Lemieux Island July 9. If it rains for the McCormick Park show, the performance will move to the Community Centre. Suggested "pass the hat" donation is $10

..... speaking of Hintonburgers, a new burger joint using that kick-butt name has moved into the former location of Khatoon. The Webgeek and AJ checked it out this week and have pronounced it tasty. Can't wait to try!

Run for it - July 18

Miss Vicky Thu Jun 24, 2010

The annual Hintonburg Centennial 5k/1k is coming up soon - July 18! It's a great event - Miss Vicky and the Webgeek have run it in the past and had a fun time hoofing it through the 'hood. This year may be WeeG's first 1k, as we are not sure he'll want to stay in a stroller while Mom and Dad run. He's a busy guy with energy to burn (shocking, I know).

Now, this 5k is a fun run/walk - no pressure, and diverse participants of many ages and abilities.

If running is not your bag, though, there is a way you can participate and help make this event a success. This kind of run needs a LOT of people helping out - at the start and finish lines by Parkdale Park, and especially at the street barricades throughout the course, which runs through Hintonburg and West Wellington. You'd be needed from about 8:30 to about 10 - and there will be cake afterwards! Plus you get to cheer on friends and neighbours. It is a good gig.

Nat Hanson is coordinating volunteers and would love to hear from anyone who'd like to help out. She can be reached a natalie.hanson@gmail.com
