Will Ottawa have its own Society of Beer Drinking Ladies?
The Society of Beer Drinking Ladies held its first Ottawa “bevy” — think of a mini beer festival — on Saturday, April 14, at the All Saints Event Centre.

We kick off this new feature with guest answerer Chris Wizzerd, who is organizing, and will also perform in, the “Lemmy re-revisited” fundraising show on Jan. 27 at the House of Targ. A half-dozen local bands will rawk out to Motorhead songs (and a couple from Hawkwind) in memory of the late, incomparable Lemmy. Funds raised go to the Phoebe Rose Rocks Foundation for research in childhood cancer....
Christmas sweaters for a great cause
Jasmine Bégin suffered severe burns when she was a child, so she started a business that gives back to those who helped her. Jasmine’s company, Wear It Forward, sells clothing and donates $5 from every item sold to CHEO, the children’s hospital. Jasmine was in Flora Hall for a night and sold many sweaters, and find where else she’ll be at wearitforward.ca.
