Meet Ottawa's new 'night mayor'
Meet Ottawa's new 'night mayor'
The City of Ottawa introduced Mathieu Grondin as the new 'nightlife commissioner' on Tuesday, the individual tasked with helping to shape the city's nightlife and shake off the image as the 'town that fun forgot.'
Step one for downtown...have things opened past 3pm
This is going to be a failure all around.
@Fiivemacs @NotSteve_ How can this fail? It has all the earmarks of success: A commissioner who recruits ambassadors and then writes reports.
When you think about it, this is exactly how a city that doesn't know how to have fun would plan to be a city that has fun - through strict bureaucracy.
That'd be nice wouldn't it? I live in Centretown but even it makes me feel like I'm still living in my small hometown. Ottawa's not a huge city but things should be open later, even on Sundays damn it
Guy should really lean into the "night mayor" moniker. Just show up at bars around town in some sort of costume just yelling at people "I AM THE NIGHT MAYOR!" in his best batman voice.
Otherwise the job just seem like a bit of a... night-mare? 😁
