Another shop I occasionally go to in this mall is the M&M Meat shop. There's also an IDA Drugmart with a post office inside it, and a McDonalds. Stittsville and area is really growing. It just seems less crowded than similar areas I've been to in the east end - such as Merivale Rd. The big plus for me in Stittsville and Kanata (Ottawa's "True West End") is that there is finally more shopping out this way. That, combined with less congestion is what keeps me here!

These individuals are rewarded with immediate attention and "service" while everyone who follows the rules and takes a number waits in frustration. It's a terrible system with zero enforcement of rules or respect. And then the "service" reps wonder why people are so disrespectful to them. They need to enforce protocols and actually implement the "turn taking" system. If you arrive after 2:30, you'll likely find that there are no numbers left to take in case you're someone who follows rules. I'm sure the people at the desks know their stuff, and are very nice, but there is definitely a lack of leadership and order at this location.

I did 90 days there and was appalled by the horrible conditions of the place. There's a CO that would purposely ignore fights and just allow the inmates to beat up a poor old woman all because she needed the bottom bunk and the other female inmates refused to let her have it. The lady was 60 years old with back pain and psychically can't climb to the top bunk, the inmates beat her so badly she needed to go to the hospital.. guards just let her lay in her own blood. There was another female inmate that has epilepsy and can't be on the top bunk due to her seizures and she can fall off the bunk and hit her head, CO's forced her to take the top bunk and didn't do anything to help her, just let her fall of the bunk hit her head and had a really bad seizure, she was my cell mate and I had to yell and scream for an hour to finally get a CO to help her. Its so overcrowded there, 3 women to a 2 person cell, and 18 women in a from meant for 16 women. Some women are sleeping on the floors which is extremely unsanitary.

You better be ready for a covert goose bypass operation. These birds don't just honk -- they judge, glare, and, if provoked, launch a full-scale flapping offensive.

You need to come in person before lunch, stay in line and get a ticket and pay for parking. You need to return the same day at your appointment time, again stay in line, pay for parking and be lucky enough to get your appointment done. I was not lucky and did not get a ticket cause they were done at 1pm. System works brilliant: if you are working full time, you need to take the whole day off to be able to get the service here or just to spent lots of time. Government was not able to create the simple online booking system and provide an announcement but was able to close all the doors in the building and provide security who comes out once in 30 minutes to tell you that there is no point to stay in line.

Once we all arrived, we were able to take a few pictures in the beautiful scenery before being shown to a waiting area with seats. Everything was extremely organized, but not rushed in any way. The Justice of the Peace came to meet us and led the way into the room for the civil ceremony. The fairly room was small, but it had flowers and was nicely dim lit, so it was quite quaint. The ceremony was short and sweet, and not too serious. Afterward, we exited the doors and walked out to the hallway where we were greeted with the bride's work friends blowing bubbles. It was very sweet of them to let this small group of 4 women 'sneak in' to greet the bride. It was such a great day for the family!

This is a wonderful route to follow, especially if you can find a time when it is not busy with cars. I went out on March 7th around 1pm, and it was lovely. The air was crisp, and there were no cars. The view along the river is breathtaking, and offers several opportunities to venture off the road and shore. The whole parkway is about 22km one-way, and there seemed to be a gentle slope. The actual parkway road is decent, however the surround streets you use to access it are ridden with potholes. I would suggest bringing your bike to one of the parking lots in the park and setting out from there. I am sure it can only get lovelier as the weather gets warmer, and the festivals and tourists dots the landscape. From my understanding the parkway is heavily used by cyclists in the summer, this is comforting. Also, I found drivers passing me on the road gave me a lot of room. I will definitely keep riding this route, and return once the snow clears to explore the park! The only downside to cycling, is the actual parkway is not very long. You could do the stretch multiple times but your passing the same scenery which is boring. Once the parkway ends the roads get considerably more busy.
