A bullet journal spread for a reading challenge from January 24.-25.01.2026, showing I aim to read 24 hours out of 48.

I'm not sure I did a single #24in48 reading challenge for a year. Kicking off this year with one - the last chance before my birthday on Monday 😁

Starting of with an audiobook - Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072. Sometimes you need a hopeful SFF ♥️

I feel so lucky and grateful to live in this wonderful, vast, and diverse city. The people of Ottawa are warm and generous, and inspire me every day. The #24in48 Tour has been so fun and rewarding.

C'est la soirée cinéma au festival d'été de l'association communautaire de Riverview Park, dans le quartier d'Alta Vista. C'était très amusant de voir la communauté se rassembler en cette belle soirée d'été. Je n'arrive pas à croire que c'est la dernière étape de la tournée #24in48.

It's movie night at the Riverview Park Community Association's Summer Festival in Alta Vista ward. It was so much fun to see the community gathering on this beautiful summer evening. I can't believe it's the last stop on the #24in48 Tour.

Padel is a bit like tennis, but with enclosed courts like squash. It was wonderful to check out this new facility as part of the #24in48 Tour.

It takes guts and determination to take your shot and open a business and the family led team at Bloom Hockey Training Centre have fired one top shelf straight into the back of the net.
As part of his #24in48 tour, I brought Mayor Mark Sutcliffe by to welcome this new business to the east end.

It’s inspiring to see entrepreneurs launching innovative new ventures. As the #24in48 Tour continues, I visited Bloom Hockey Training Centre in Orléans West-Innes ward. Their synthetic ice surface offers year-round training and skills development solutions for hockey and ringette players.

It’s Day 2 of the #24in48 Tour! In 2022 I started a new tradition: I visit all 24 wards in our vast and beautiful city over two days. Yesterday we travelled all over Ottawa, from the Diefenbunker in Carp to the Legion in Richmond to a plowing match in Navan to the Redblacks game in the Glebe.

At the end of a busy day, there's no place I'd rather be than Lansdowne Park, the jewel of Capital Ward. I'm wrapping up Day 1 of the #24in48 Tour by watching the Redblacks game at TD Place. Let's go Redblacks! The #24in48 Tour continues with many more stops tomorrow. Good night Ottawa!

One more stop to go on Day 1 of the #24in48 Tour.

Ottawa has more veterans than any other city in Canada, and our legions are important gathering places for them. It was great to pop in on the BBQ at the Richmond Legion Branch in Rideau-Jock ward as the #24in48 Tour continues. Thank you veterans!

The same deli the mayor highlighted in his #24in48 post today?

Je suis passé à la banque alimentaire aujourd'hui pour remercier les bénévoles dans le cadre de la tournée #24in48. S'il vous plaît, soutenez leur campagne !

The Diefenbunker is one of Ottawa's most interesting and thought-provoking destinations, where you can imagine life during the Cold War. It was great to stop by on the #24in48 Tour and chat the new executive director, Monique Goffinet. Come see the Diefenbunker in West Carleton-March ward.

Kanata-Nord abrite tant de grandes entreprises qui sont des chefs de file au pays et dans le monde. J'ai été ravi de visiter CAE Canada aujourd'hui dans le cadre de la tournée #24in48.
