What’s the latest?
The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) has released its COVID-19 vaccination policies for events at TD Place. People going to Ottawa 67’s games will have to show proof they’re fully vaccinated, as per league rules.
For all other ticketed events, people can either show proof they’re fully vaccinated or a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the event.
OSEG says these policies start Sept. 12 and it will share more details by then.
Most CEGEP students are returning to school in-person today after spending more than a year away from post-secondary classrooms.
A lot of people have had to pivot quickly during this pandemic, but few have pivoted quite so far as Roger Glaude: delivering freshly butchered poultry products in the Ottawa area when the bottom dropped out of his office ergonomics business.

As of Sunday, 28,118 Ottawa residents have tested positive for COVID-19. There are 149 known active cases, 27,356 cases considered resolved, and 593 people who have died from the illness.
