Ottawa gained a new street this year when Sens Fever got some fans to ask the city to name Elgin St. as the Sens Mile so they could have a central place to go to celebrate. Signs were up in time for the Stanley Cup Finals and went from Gladstone to Lisgar Sts.
And you thought your Move was a Headache. On June 15 this house got stuck under the railway bridge on Merivale Rd. just south of Colonade as it was being moved to a new location.

The Centennial Flame is burning bright again as work is done to set up the stage for Canada Day. It was closed down for several months over the winter as it underwent major repairs. It was relit in time for the tourist season.
