(...) Yes, Ottawa now includes as far out as Stittsville I believe. I've heard there are some very disappointed people out there that had a nasty surprise when they got their tax bill from the new city. I don't know about the stores closing at 5pm (...)

(...) What?! Man that's news. Of course I haven't lived there since '95, but still. So how far out do the city limits go now? Does it include Kanata? Stittsville? And does this now mean that all of the stores close at 5 pm?? :] KDJ ___...___ (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott)

I propose we meet here in Ottawa to look at starting a LUG. The agenda will be simple, first we introduce ourselves, then we talk, eat some food, talk some more, show off a few MOC's, decide if we want to meet again. We can begin the process of (...)
