Your city hall is really getting ready for summer 2026
Alright, *bonjour*, Ottawa. Let's talk about what's actually happening out there, away from the Parliament Hill drama for a minute. We've got some interesting permit details from City Hall that, if you squint, give you a little peek into our city's future social calendar.
According to the latest issued building permits, The Bani Hashi Society is planning not one, but *two* temporary tent installations at 900 Eglinton Ave E. We're talking five tents each time, for $6,500 a pop. One permit, #BP 3TEN 26-406, covers June 16 to June 27, 2026. The second, #BP 3TEN 26-407, is for July 26 to August 6, 2026. This is in Ward 3, by the way. It’s early, but they're getting things organized well in advance – which, honestly, is *very* Ottawa of them.
Here's the breakdown:
* **Who:** The Bani Hashi Society * **What:** Two separate installations of five temporary tents each * **Where:** 900 Eglinton Ave E (Ward 3) * **When:** June 16-27, 2026, and July 26-August 6, 2026 * **Cost:** $6,500 for each event
It’s always fascinating to see these permits come through so far ahead of time. It tells you that even if you haven't heard about these events yet, someone is already doing the heavy lifting to make sure they happen. The real story is never on the Hill – it's always just off it. We'll be watching to see what these future events entail, and how they shape up for summer 2026.
