Your city hall is getting ready for a party
Alright, *bonjour*, Ottawa. Let's talk about what's actually happening on the ground, not just in the committee rooms up on the Hill. Our latest dive into the City of Ottawa's issued building permits shows something interesting. The Bani Hashi Society has permits approved to install five temporary tents, not once, but *twice* next year.
This is for June 16 to June 27, 2026, and then again from July 26 to August 6, 2026, both at 900 Eglinton Avenue East in Ward 3. Each permit is valued at $6,500. Now, for those of you who don't follow commercial permit applications like I do, two identical permits for temporary structures within such a short timeframe often signals a recurring event, maybe a festival or a large community gathering. This isn't just a one-off picnic.
The permits are for: * **Permit #BP 3TEN 26-406:** Five temporary tents, June 16-27, 2026, $6,500. * **Permit #BP 3TEN 26-407:** Five temporary tents, July 26-August 6, 2026, $6,500. * **Location:** 900 Eglinton Avenue East, Ward 3.
It’s a good reminder that our city is constantly setting the stage for events, big and small, even years in advance. Keep an eye on local community calendars for Ward 3 to see what exactly they’re planning for these dates.
The real story is never on the Hill — it's always just off it.
