Could this be serviceberry? Located in Ottawa, Canada in a neighborhood park. Sorry about the rough pic, my dog had other ideas in mind!

Hi all, as an operational mid-career PE who is an analytical, systems-oriented thinker who enjoys problem solving and finding practical solutions, I’m approaching a bit of a crossroads in my career. I am WFA’d and will likely face a SERLO next year if we don’t make enough reductions by then. Although I’m banking on not being cut, it has me thinking about what I want my career to look like going forward.

I’ve been a PE since 2016 and although I have BA I do not currently meet the “acceptable specialization in economics, sociology or statistics” which is required for the EC stream. I’m curious if anyone has gone back to school as a special student and picked up a few relevant courses tha

Fellow Ottawans, my husband and I are taking a staycation end of June which will coincide with Canada Day. We moved out to the burbs about five years ago and have been feeling removed from … life.

Granted, I am in Canada so our season is exceptionally short, but I just can’t comprehend how many truly natural players there are out there? Like for me, I connect most of the time, rarely take a mulligan, hit straight and decently far, but tend to fall apart on the putting or an errant chip. I feel like double bogey golf is a good target for a beginner hobbiest. I’ve taken a few lessons here

What is going on? It seems like every few days there’s another fire happening Oshawa lately! It’s my hometown and all of my family still lives there. Some have been close to family members’ place of work and residence! It’s getting scary.

Who is the best, most hygienic piercer in the city? I am currently going through a pre-peri-menopause crisis and would like to jazz my basic bitch self up a bit. Last piercing was probably 15 or more years ago…
