Every year in November, writers of all shapes, sizes, and genres come together to tackle National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). With a goal of writing 50,000 words in 30 days, the event challenges both aspiring and experienced novelists to prioritize putting pen to page to see what they can accomplish.
With November in full swing, you’re invited to join your fellow writers and the local Ottawa event coordinators for a “Write-in”: dedicated work time where you can bask in the camaraderie and creativity of your fellow writers as you sit down and put words on the page!

The Granny Squares for Warmth (GSFW) group was created in November 2020 as a Barrhaven-based group with a mission to create and donate hand-made blankets in the Ottawa area.
In addition to blankets, members have also made and donated shawls, hats, and baby wear.
Join us to crochet and join granny squares, to share and learn crochet stitches and techniques and to build a sense of community by making blankets for those in need.

120 minutesThink about all the data on your PC: videos of the grandkids playing in a park, photos of your trip to Patagonia (lucky you!), tax records, emails… Now think about whether those files exist anywhere else. If the answer is no, Chris Taylor, President of the Ottawa PC Users' Group, will show you how to backup your files to keep them safe.
