Family Illness
As you can see I haven’t been updating this site because of family illness but I still thought I’d mention there are no major events scheduled until the middle of the month anyway.
The next major event, Ottawa Comicon, will be held on the 17th and 18th of January, 2026 at the EY Center, conveniently located next to the airport and Uplands LRT Station. And I will add additional information a.s.a.p.
