First Post Ever

>Well, here it is, my first blogsite. I wanted to extend my interests and favourite links to the world.
I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. (We are here on Google Maps) I think Ottawa is a great city, and there are lots of things to do here. Hopefully , this blog will be a good place to discuss the many facets of Ottawa, and maybe even help improve the quality of life here.


Here's a few good links for all things Ottawa:

• ottawa.ca, the official site for our city; services, attractin and everything in between, for residents and visitors alike. A very good place to start.
• ottawa.com, kinda like the one above, but focused on business.
• kidsottawa.com, if you need to get the kids out of the house, to get their wiggles out.
• Ottawa on Wikipedia, lots of info, especially if you want to brush up on your history of Bytown.
• ottawatourism.ca, just what it says folks.
• ottawakiosk.com, and ottawastart.com another couple places to find out what's going on in Canada's Capital.

Apparently, there are two waterparks opening in the NCR (National Capital Region) Calypso waterpark is near the town of Limoges, just off highway 417, east of Ottawa. The other park is called AlottawaWata, and it will be south of the city, off highway 416. Notice the word "Ottawa" contained in the name. Originally, both of these waterparks were to open in the summer of 2009.

Unfortunately, the openings have both been pushed back to 2010.

Here's some links:

• From the Ottawa Business Journal, article describing the parks.
• AlottaWata.com (Official site, opening 2010)
• From the Ottawa Citizen, about the delays.

Well, folks, that's it for me. I'll see you later.
