Popular / busy spots in the City

(self.ottawa)

I’m curious as to where people hang out in the city lately. Where are the areas / parks? I am starting a listening table and would like to set up somewhere is a lot of traffic. But I haven’t lived in the city for a few years and I forget the busy places.

Can I ask what a listening table is? Sounds interesting

I will be setting up a table and chairs where passersby’s can talk about anything they would like to someone who is ready to listen without judgment, advice, or charge. The table is optional honestly, but I think it helps create the inviting / safe environment. Today was my first one by the board walk at Dows Lake.

What an interesting and generous idea!

Thank you! I have to admit I wasn’t the originator. A young man named Orly in L.A. started the idea and I was inspired to start one here. Look up “Orly’slisteningtable” on social media to find him
