Today is Yom HaShoah, a solemn day of remembrance for the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered in the Holocaust.
We honour the survivors who carried their stories forward with courage and resilience, and we remember the lives, families, and communities that were lost.
On this day, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to stand firmly against antisemitism, hatred, and intolerance in all its forms.

It was great to stop by Maple Hall for the Cumberland Lions Club Maplefest this weekend.
There’s something special about this time of year in our community. The smell of fresh maple, kids running around with sticky fingers, neighbours catching up after a long winter… it all just feels right.
A big thank you to the incredible volunteers from the Cumberland Lions Club who make this event happen year after year. These kinds of traditions don’t come together by accident. They’re built on hard work, early mornings, and a genuine love for community.

Street sweeping operations are officially under way!
Street sweeping operations are an essential part of cleaning up the transportation network, and our Maintenance Quality Standards (MQS) require the City to complete them by May 31st. Street sweeping typically begins as early as the weather will allow and occurs during both daytime and nighttime shifts. But when the overnight temperature drops below zero, operations must be paused as the water we use on the road can form into ice, creating dangerous conditions.
The Roads and Parking Services team is monitoring the forecast, and although long-range temperatures are favourable, street sweeping operations…

Ode to Snow in April
Oh bold, uninvited guest of spring,
You frosty, tone-deaf, lingering thing,
Arriving just as tulips yawn
And robins strut across the lawn.
We packed away the boots, you see,
Declared our sock emancipation free,
Dreamed open paths and warming sun
And you said, “No. We’re not quite done.”
You dust the buds with powdered spite,
Turn hopeful green to stubborn white,
A petty encore, cold and slow,
A curtain call no one asked for.
The shovel sighs from near the door,
“Oh this again? I’ve done my chore.”
The driveway groans beneath your stay,
Winter…

The Ottawa River Regulating Committee would like to inform basin residents that levels and flows along the Ottawa River are expected to begin increasing over the next few days due to onset of the spring freshet in the Ottawa River basin. It cautions residents along the shores of the Ottawa River from Mattawa down to the Montreal Region that throughout the spring freshet period, which can span several weeks, water levels can rise rapidly at times and cause minor flooding in low-lying areas. The levels and flows in the Ottawa River are currently close to normal but are expected to…
