Rounding out the year

Last workout of 2020. A year in review with the moments to celebrate and fun memories and thoughts were shared last week. Please see here 

Hard to believe about 1 year ago we were playing street hockey at Lansdowne. Remember that? Remembering that fondly….. I don’t think any of us thought we would be here, looking the way the world looks, and 2021 may be filled with much uncertainty as well. However, what we can control is our outlook. What are some of your reflections? How did you respond to all the changes? Did you go through seasons of grief and acceptance? Did you go through a season of change, of discomfort and then ease into a new routine? We witnessed creativity of gatherings, virtual games, ways of keeping yourself motivated to move, to connect, to stay positive.  read more

Listening to you (Ottawa)

Our goal and objective at November Project Ottawa has always been to use fitness as a vehicle to bring and connect people together.  Whether that be through showing up in the cold months of February along the canal, early mornings at the stadium or post workout bagels.  The intention has always been the same show up early, show up to move, show up to meet new people, show up to add more value into your day and to that of others. We believe that it is fair to say that we, along with 51 other cities believe in this. read more

embracing the unprecedented (Ottawa)

With all of the unprecedented times that have happened, that are about to occur and to the future times we cannot yet predict. We are hoping to embrace a little bit of these unprecedented times with some precedented events.  Sorry, what?

Okay here is what we are looking to do/create/fuel your fire/foster warmth in the cold days of fall.  With your help we would like to create a moving target of an event.  When we reminisce about past events we think of times like the crate escape, social poster making, bowling nights, holiday runs, mural runs and picnics in the park. read more

some of those silver linings(Ottawa)

What does the future look like a week from today, a month or even a year from now? Will we still be sporting masks, keeping our two metres of distance, having social gatherings in our backyards still? We’re just as unsure as you are. But, here are some things we would like you to know.

We will continue to connect virtually. You can count on that. read more

Sharing is caring (Ottawa)

        • You know when Facebook pulls at your heart and makes you a memory, one of those photo memories that might have sparked a new friendship or romance? Maybe it one of those that you forgot about and wished it would never resurface #frostedtips. This is like one of those posts but better.

          On a weekly basis you, along with many others continue to embrace, endeavour and enjoy this city we call home. Once known as the most boring city in Canada, it know might be known to you as the city in which you fell in love with running again. Learned to embrace winter and all of it’s glory. Learnt about the word BUFF. And maybe you entered TD Place Stadium for the first time not as a spectator. You ran your first 6k. Met some friends, became best friends, fell in love, fell out of love. Yes, this and many more events could have all happened in Ottawa but would they have happened without November Project? Maybe, okay fine…. yes, they could have. But would it have been brought about by movement, through meeting a stranger, while running along the Rideau Canal by the sunrise, over a fresh bag of bagels? No. Sorry November Project helped fire all that. read more
