As it is a Saturday in Ottawa, here is a snapshot of what’s happening today and some context for your weekend:

At a Glance

  • Weather: It’s currently a winter morning in Ottawa. You might want to check the local forecast before heading out, as January in the capital often brings brisk temperatures.

  • Holidays & Observances: While there are no statutory holidays in Ontario today, it is Uzhavar Thirunal (a Tamil harvest festival) for those celebrating in the community.

  • Current News: The Government of Canada is holding a technical briefing today regarding the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program, which may be a topic of discussion in local news cycles.


Weekend Inspiration

Since you enjoy sharing insights on your blog and tracking "People Worth Watching," here are a few themes often associated with mid-January that might spark a post:

  • The "Mid-Winter Reset": We are now halfway through the first month of the year. It’s often a great time to revisit productivity systems or knowledge management goals you set at the start of January.

  • Catching People Doing Things Right: With the weekend in full swing, it could be a perfect opportunity to look for those small, positive interactions in the community to highlight in your next graphic or story.
