As awful as the Senators have been inside their blueline, their defensive core should be a strength next season.

At the Mamisarvik Healing Centre, which specializes in treating addicted and traumatized Inuit, staff have been given their termination notices and the doors are due to close in 17 days. It is a scandal, of little clamour, just as the plight of the most desperate Inuit living in Ottawa is an ignored tragedy of the everyday.

As the government prepares to table legislation to accommodate the Supreme Court ruling on physician assisted suicide, an issue has emerged to eclipse the substance of the bill. That issue is whether this bill should be decided by a “free vote.” Contrary to the claims of many who are demanding such a vote, the “free vote” […]

The Ottawa Hospital has confirmed that four computers in its network of 9,800 were hit with ransomware last week which encrypted the information on those machines making it unaccessible to hospital administrators. “No patient information was affected.

WolfGANG Session Reviewed Saturday night At Mercury Lounge Last year, the NAC Orchestra launched what was, for Ottawa, an audacious experiment.

A young woman escaped a car rollover with only very minor injuries after a single vehicle accident in Gatineau early Sunday morning. The Gatineau resident, 21, was the only person in the car when it hit a patch of black ice while heading west on La Vérendrye Boulevard at La France Road, eventually hitting the median and […]

It’s a good thing the winter tires are still on the car, despite the inevitable thoughts of removing them on this relatively-balmy weekend.  Environment Canada has issued a special “weather statement” about possible freezing rain on Monday, as a low pressure system enters into the Great Lakes region, causing unsettled weather throughout the province.  The meteorological service also […]

There can be no affair sexier, surely, than the one that begins with a good-looking stranger catching your eye across a crowded room, striding toward you as time slows and the world dissolves, leaning in so close you feel the breath on your ear until, at last, the person whispers the 32 little words you’ve always […]

thanks, see you then, cheers Dave Pugliese

The Ottawa 67’s extended their win streak to three games with a 5-4 overtime victory in Kingston on Saturday night against the Eastern Conference-leading Frontenacs.

To the Ryerson Rams goes the banner, the first to ever be hung in the rafters of the Mattamy Athletic Centre as an indicator of Ontario University Athletics women’s basketball supremacy.

It will be Alberta against Newfoundland and Labrador for the Tim Hortons Brier title. Alberta defeated Northern Ontario 6-5 in the semifinal at TD Place arena on Saturday.

It’s perfectly fitting for the Ottawa Senators that time jumps ahead an hour Sunday. As tidy as Saturday’s 4-0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs was — a solid response to the defensive nightmare of Thursday’s 6-2 loss to Florida — the Senators can’t make up for all the lost time and all the lost chances that came earlier in the week and earlier in the season.

The Carleton Ravens scored twice early against Guelph and never looked back, winning their Ontario University Athletics sudden-death bronze-medal contest 4-0 at the Carleton Ice House.

You may not have known that a plant breeder was working tirelessly right here in Ottawa during the 1970s and 1980s to bring us hardy and beautiful roses and shrubs. The hardy Explorer series of roses, the weigela Dance series (Minuet, Rumba, Samba, Tango and Polka), the robust forsythia cultivars Northern Gold and Happy Centennial, […]

Losing in the Brier's 3-4 playoff game hurts, but it was a good week overall for Manitoba skip Mike McEwen and his team.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS — The folded paper tucked inside J.D. and Melanie Heffern’s front door on Christmas Eve was not a letter from Santa Claus. Instead, the National Research Council was writing to inform the couple, who live with their three children about 600 metres from the NRC’s fire research laboratory in Mississippi Mills, that trace amounts of […]

Eight teens from Iqaluit and Rankin Inlet have seen the best in Canadian men's curling first-hand and also got to try out Brier ice on Saturday.

“Go Redblacks go!” To that deafening mantra, more than 100 young women — and a few young men — were put through their paces over the weekend during the Ottawa Redblacks cheerleading and dance auditions at the Delta Ottawa City Centre. The hopefuls flashed wide smiles, excited to show off their stunting, cheering and tumbling skills as they […]

The Carleton University professor directs research at one the most unusual laboratories in the country: a $10-million, 10-storey facility where he investigates the behaviour of fire in homes, office buildings, subway cars and […]
