I often brag about municipal services in Ottawa and particularly Kanata. I made good use of Early Years services when my babies were babies, we looooove our library and backyard skating rink etc, etc…

In last couple of weeks I was extra impressed. The Ottawa Police found our bicycle that was stolen last year. Not only did they catch the bleepety snots who stole it, but one of the cops apparently goes through the bike room every once in a while looking for more valuable specimens and then searches through the database for matching descriptions. The Opus is safe back home and I have set it up as my fast bike. It took a little bit of TLC, but it looks fantastic now.

Then yesterday afternoon, I took the kids to the library and guess what greeted us at the front door?

Yes, a bikerack! I’ve asked the library manager and our City Councillor for one earlier this year and here it is! I’ll take all the credit.
