Following a recent debate at the University of Ottawa Students’ Union’s (UOSU) Board of Directors meeting, UOSU has admitted they are “seriously considering” supporting a recent initiative by the National Capitol Commission (NCC) to drain the water in the Rideau Canal and replace it with Arizona Iced Tea.
I fear that the unusual temperatures will become the new normal. Even worse, but hardly surprising, no one seems to care.The Canal is dying, and so are we.
“It’s a really great resource for people in Ottawa to stay active and get out,” said University of Ottawa student and skate patroller Matthew Goldsmith.
The Fulcrum sat down with Bruce Devine, senior manager of the Rideau Canal Skateway, to talk all things ice and Beavertails.
Halfway into the month of September, the capital region has seen a massive spike in the number of black bear sightings. The Fulcrum looked into the causes behind the jump in these sightings and the broader factors bringing wild animals to the city.
Last year’s Occupy Ottawa movement was closely monitored and the RCMP gathered information by questioning campus security, according to recently released documents.
