First of all, and this is long overdue, we locked down a third presenter for the first jam. Some of the folks working on the Canada@150 initiative in the Government of Canada are going to tell us what it’s like to be part of one of the first large-scale social projects in the federal public service.
So with that one, plus the Ottawa Tonite Crew, plus the Apartment 613 gang… really, what reason could you possibly have for not registering?
Next, as most of you probably know, a spate of fires in the last few days has done a serious number on the services available to women in need in the city. Jam co-organizer Amy Boughner came up with the great idea to pass the proverbial (and possibly literal) hat at the first Jam to raise funds to help the Cornerstone Women’s Shelter, one of the affected groups. If you’re coming on Thursday, please dig deep and see if you can find a few bucks to help out.
If you can’t make it, local blogger and all around good guy Ian Capstick has put together a list of charities and community groups that could really use a helping hand right now – please consider giving what you can.
