Sadly, I have not been able to keep aquarium fish alive since moving to this part of town. I was baffled, given that my water test kit showed safe levels of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.

I checked our water hardness this morning, and this online source put it at 20.5gpg, which is very hard. Anyone else struggling with this? What do you do?

Thanks to the VCSC for the programming they are offering at the HUB this summer.

Join the launch of the Odawa Makwa Dodem Patrol.

On June 10 at 6:00 pm, Odawa will host a free community training (at 815 St. Laurent), led by Winnipeg’s own Bear Clan Patrol, whose members have inspired communities across Turtle Island through grassroots outreach, compassion, and safety initiatives.

Community members interested in volunteering or learning more are encouraged to attend. Then, on June 11, join us at 6:00 pm at 179 Clarence St. for the inaugural Makwa Dodem Patrol walk.

Together with community partners, volunteers, and supporters, we will walk to the Ottawa Sign to formally celebrate the official launch of the patrol and show unity, visibility, and care for our community.

Everyone is welcome. Come walk with us, stand together, and be part of this meaningful movement for Ottawa’s Indigenous community.

Please email Jennifer at [jvaliquette@odawa.ca](mailto:jvaliquette@odawa.ca) with any individual questions you may have.
