Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

A new audit of the City of Ottawa’s garbage collection program has found inconsistent enforcement of collection rules and insufficient monitoring of its outside contractors.

The audit, conducted between January 2025 and May 2026 by the city’s Auditor General Nathalie Gougeon, looked at whether Ottawa has an effective curbside garbage collection plan that delivers value for money.
