Ottawa Bound

cancam · 01-23-2011, 05:36 AM

Well the suits in the corner offices have decided I should share my life's experiences with a new group in the Ottawa Region.

My new promotion takes effect Jan 1 and we should be moved up there by July 1

Let the fun begin !!

Hey, congrats on the promotion. What's there to do in Ottawa?

Floyd B · 01-23-2011, 06:26 AM

Way to go Cam!!
I'm sure you'll do fine, you seem like "good people"
The country up here is amazing for cruising!
Twists and turns and clear black water everywhere.
There's at least 5 R's here in Peterborough, (they're a little shy though) there must be a few in Ottawa.
We'll have to get some stuff going in the summer.

Mark C · 01-23-2011, 06:39 AM

Congrats Cam. It will be a big challenge. Best of luck to both you and Lisa!

mikeb326 · 01-23-2011, 06:46 AM

Welcome, soon to be Ottawan. Now there will be two fanatics here in town!!

Here's a link to the schedules for the cruise nights around the town. It looks a little bear right now but as the season get's closer it will fill up.

Information on Ottawa car cruise nights and classic car shows

I hope to meet you soon.

Congratulation on the promotion Cam. I hope this doesn't put any dampers on your cruises south. Take care and stay warm.

M T Pockets · 01-23-2011, 06:48 PM

Hey Cam, does this mean the Niagara Falls Run becomes the Nations Capital Run???

Congrats Cam. Ottawa is a real nice place. Good luck on your new venture.

mike s · 01-24-2011, 06:59 AM

Congrats Cam
I am sure you and Lisa will enjoy. There is always something happening. Corrie and I lived in Ottawa for 40+ years before moving to the country. Great SSR touring in every direction.

Maybe you and MT Pockets can coordinate the first ever Niagara National Capital Rally. It could be a one week event.

All the best.
Mike & Corrie.

IFytFyrs · 01-24-2011, 09:15 AM

Congratulations Cam! Guess the suits figured you were too valuable to send you south... I might go to a convention there in June. If the weather is nice, I could take the SSR... If your move is done by then, maybe we could find Mike and a beer

Sooooooo... How does Lisa feel about this?

SSRich · 01-24-2011, 12:14 PM

Congradulation Cam, now you will be close to Quebec and we can meet more often.

WindsuppreSSR · 01-24-2011, 12:55 PM

Congratulations on the promotion Cam! I know it must be difficult picking up stakes and leaving your beautiful home in the prettiest town in Canada. I wish you and Lisa all the best!
You will have a lot longer drive to get to Woodward this year

M T Pockets · 01-24-2011, 05:35 PM

Great Idea Mike. Let me know if you need a hand

We'll talk about it in Florida in March. Maybe include a boat tour around Lake Clear

Cam, even after you gave them the "Cam look", they still are making you go!

Good luck with the new promotion!

waytrucks · 01-24-2011, 08:17 PM

Great to hear about the promotion, maybe not the move so much but something new.
Congratulation.

LTs SSR · 01-24-2011, 08:20 PM

cancam · 02-01-2011, 06:04 PM

Thanks to all for the kind words and merci beaucoup (just learning french but not the spelling ) to my QC friends !

Mike S as you have lots of knowledge of the local area and you have generated some interest already in the National Capital Rally that you suggested - you have now been elected as the Key Organizer !

the vote went like this

MT Pockets = 1 vote
cancam = 1 vote
Mike S = 1 vote

Now you know how you got elected ! and yes i will help you organize it ! PS MikeB326 is already on the commitee as he is the most local and he had raised his hand a little bit

mikeb326 · 02-01-2011, 07:56 PM

Commitments,commitments.

I'm in

cancam · 02-02-2011, 05:53 PM

See Mike S how easy it is now you have a committee ! as soon as you get home we be here wating for you for your first organizing run - this is as much fun as the rally !

The groundhog says spring is early and I count less than 90 days till May 1 !

1998Thundercat · 03-15-2011, 12:21 AM

Oh so is this why I can not find any dates for a Niagra Run this year?

So I have to plan a trip to Ottawa?

Gee...what are the dates?
