Weekend reading: December 9 edition

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Weekend reading

The petition for a National Cycling Strategy is still open, and just passed 3000 signatures. If it closed today, we’d still rank below horsemeat for most signatures. Show how strongly Canadians support cycling and sign the petition: https://t.co/Cqyd47OiOY #ottbike. pic.twitter.com/jTzzIIgQNN

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark. We have two daughters: Emma (19) and Sarah (17). I am the managing editor of our community newspaper, the Kitchissippi Times. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger, and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999... which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for families. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here. Thank you for visiting!
