Effective immediately & until further notice, the flags at all City of Ottawa facilities have been lowered to half-mast in honour of the victims of the tragedy at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright on October 17, 2026.
The City expresses its solidarity with the Wainwright community.

Today, members of the community joined the Sankey Family and I to commemorate the late John Sankey and dedicate the pollinator garden in his memory at the Hunt Club Riverside Park Community Centre.
A fitting tribute to a dedicated community leader.

The letters spell beautiful...this afternoon on Scout Street in River Ward's Central Park neighbourhood.
