Yeah thought for sure they would start around the NAC and go down Elgin a bit passed city hall. Sucks cause I have a meeting there tomorrow from 10 to 11, so would of perfect to be able to sneak out and check it out but now, I may not get to attend.

Jimmy has a bake sale to attend at 11am, he has a cookie sale to attend at 1pm, he then has to go to a craft show at 2pm, so noon was the only time for him.

Further to some of the points made already, most of these guys will have leases on apartments that will expire on November 30. The American guys especially will be heading home ASAP.
Well, I can't. I have to work, as do most people. How is having a job and not being able to leave and go to a parade an "Ottawa attitude?" Don't you think attendance would be much better is this was later in the day?
Is it because of the construction? Or could it be because of they're expecting a low turnout? I've heard there was little to no excitement downtown last night.
Cubs' World Series Parade - Friday at 10:00 am
Penguins' Stanley Cup Parade - Wednesday at 11:30 am
Cleveland Cavaliers Parade - Wednesday at 11:00 am
Edmonton Eskimos Grey Cup 2015 - Tuesday at noon
Okay, I'll shut up. Heaven forbid I and anyone else try and make a living. If anyone wants to go to my meeting instead of me so I can go, PM me.

You're right, the world should accommodate you and everyone else who have meetings during their lunch hour. Heaven forbid the city choose a time that MOST people can take a break during to attend. They should cancel it as the parade should only be held during a time that can accommodate everyone.

For me, a 10 or 11am parade would have been good; I would have taken the morning off, but with a noon start, I can't roll into my job in Kanata North at 2pm.
Oh well, I'm sure people will find a way to make it down.

Couldn't you take the afternoon off just as easily as taking the morning off? Get in early and leave at 1130. I know it's too late now but...

Well, congrats to the Redblacks, I am a season ticket holder but not a Redblack fan, I'm a Tiger Cat fan & have been for quite a long time. It was nice to see Burris win the MVP & win a Grey Cup at his age after listening to a lot of people around where I sit constantly complain about him & wanting the new toy Harris. I think Harris is going to be a pretty good QB & is pretty good one right now but Hank was much more experienced & poised in the pocket. They almost blew it but got it done when it mattered mostly thanks to Burris & good for them. They have been fun to watch the last two yrs with lots of ups & downs & it was a well deserved win for them on Sunday.

The circumstances of my work are that we have morning meetings with our other office overseas, so taking mornings off for non-medical stuff is very difficult/impossible.

The glebe will try to over throw him for this comment. Bets on them demanding an apology?
