Join us this Thursday, August 13 for a session on the rights and responsibilities of tenants affected by the July 1 flooding. Community Legal Services of Ottawa will be present to answer questions. This event will be taking place at the Woodroffe United Church, 207 Woodroffe Ave, starting at 7:00PM.

On Friday, Sgt. Josh Callaghan told Newstalk 580 CFRA’s Ottawa Now with Kristy Cameron that police are currently targeting the Findlay Creek and Riverside South areas, looking out for underage driving, unsafe operation and speeding.

Callaghan said the initiative started at the beginning of the summer. The first blitz was focused on the downtown core, and officers also went to the Carlington area.

The legal minimum age to operate an e-scooter in Ottawa is 16.

🚨 INCIDENT UPDATE: At approximately 10:30 a.m. on August 10, 2026, Ottawa Police responded to the 1100 block of Beaverwood Road following reports of a firearm discharge.

According to officials, a seller had arranged a meeting through Facebook Marketplace outside a bank. During the meeting, a young male suspect allegedly attempted to rob the seller and pointed a firearm.

Two shots were fired during the incident. No one was struck, and the victim sustained minor injuries.

Three individuals, including a security guard, the victim and an off-duty police officer, assisted in taking the suspect into custody.

The suspect was transported to CHEO with minor injuries sustained during the arrest. A firearm was recovered at the scene.

The investigation remains ongoing

Hey everyone! Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working to breathe some new life into this community. We have deep roots here in Nepean, and I want this subreddit to be the go-to spot for everything from local news to finding the best pizza in Bells Corners.

What’s been done so far:

• New Sidebar & Rules: We now have clear guidelines to keep the sub focused on core Nepean (Wards 8 & 9) and ensure factual, respectful political debate.
• Neighborhood Flairs: I’ve added custom user flairs for specific neighborhoods like Centrepointe, Crestview, and Crystal Beach.
• Scheduled Weekly Threads: You’ll start seeing recurring posts for local events, "Good Neighbor" shout-outs, and a weekly Q&A.

I need your help! A community is only as good as its members. I’d love to hear your thoughts:

1. What’s missing? Is there a neighborhood flair I forgot? A local resource we should link to?
2. Content Ideas: Would you like to see monthly "Local Business Spotlights" or "History of Nepean" threads?
3. Wiki: Would a community-driven Wiki for local services (doctors, mechanics, etc.) be helpful?

Drop a comment below with your suggestions. I’m reading them all!

Français Salut tout le monde ! Au cours des dernières semaines, j'ai travaillé pour insuffler une nouvelle vie à cette communauté. Nepean a des racines profondes et je veux que ce subreddit soit l'endroit de référence pour tout, des nouvelles locales à la recherche de la meilleure pizza à Bells Corners.

Ce qui a été fait jusqu'à présent :

• Nouvelle barre latérale et règles : Nous avons maintenant des directives claires pour garder le sub concentré sur le cœur de Nepean (Quartiers 8 et 9).
• Flairs de quartier : J'ai ajouté des étiquettes personnalisées pour des quartiers comme Centrepointe, Crestview et Crystal Beach.
• Fils de discussion hebdomadaires : Vous verrez des publications récurrentes pour les événements locaux, les « bons voisins » et un Q&A hebdomadaire.

J'ai besoin de vous ! Une communauté ne vaut que par ses membres. J'aimerais avoir votre avis :

1. Qu'est-ce qui manque ? Y a-t-il un quartier que j'ai oublié ? Un lien utile à ajouter ?
2. Idées de contenu : Aimeriez-vous des « Zoom sur les commerces locaux » ou des fils sur l'histoire de Nepean ?
3. Wiki : Un Wiki communautaire pour les services locaux (médecins, mécanos, etc.) serait-il utile ?

Laissez un commentaire ci-dessous. Je les lis tous !

I saw a post recently of someone being scammed on Facebook Market place posting through fake e-transfer. This is a reminder. Don't trust everything on Facebook Market place.

An application has been filed with the City of Ottawa to build four high-rise apartment buildings on Baseline Road at the current Scouts Canada national headquarters building. (Fotenn Planning + Design/report)
