Ottawa and Gatineau residents will soon have to dial the area code to make a local phone call.
The 10-digit local dialing will be phased in over the next six months for residents served by area codes 819 and 613.
However, phone companies in Ontario and Quebec are urging customers to begin dialing all 10 digits on Thursday to get used to the change.
Starting on June 17, a recorded message will also remind callers to dial the full 10 digits next time, but the phone call will still go through.
Internet connections, faxes and other data transmission will need the 10 digits, starting on that date.
Ten-digit dialing becomes mandatory for local calls on Oct. 21.

The Historic Opeongo Line
Yesterday I went to visit a customer near Wilno, Ontario. They lived on Opeongo Rd. So as I pulled out of their driveway I grabbed my map and looked for the shortest trip back to Ottawa. What I found was The Historic Ottawa And Opeongo Colonization Route. So off I went. From Wilno to Renfrew. It was a little rough at first, but it smoothed out and was a gorgeous drive. Much better than driving back up through Eganville.

What is the 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship?
It is one of the greatest tournaments in the sport of ice hockey. It is a prestigious competition featuring tomorrow's superstars playing for their nation's pride. It is an incredible display of passion, hunger, raw talent and awe-inspiring skills.
And we should have it here in HOCKEY COUNTRY!
Click on the icon at the top right hand corner of my blog and add your support to bring this tournament to Ottawa. No money is needed just show them you want it hear. Do it now, I want be at all 31 games!!!
What are the benefits of hosting the WJHC ?
Past host communities of the IIHF world junior hockey championship have gained tremendous immediate and long-term benefits from the experience. As a result, many cities have hosted the event more than once, and are already working on plans to host the championship again in the future.
Economic benefits to the area would be substantial. Estimates of the economic activity from the 2009 championship are $45-60 million.
The 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, will be an incredible opportunity to showcase and strengthen our city's strong hockey heritage.

More Camping
Earlier this year I mentioned our first booked camping trip to Lake of Two Rivers on May 19th. Tonight I booked the second camping trip at Cyprus Lake in the Bruce Peninsula National Park. Hopefully that will coincide with the Bridge Family reunion during the first long weekend of August. Sarah has changed her annual summer trip to Newfoundland so that she can attend this weekend with me.
Shortly I should have the backwoods water trip booked for the Mattawa river journey in mid-July.

So, it looks like I have not really done anything here since I took a break when the Olympics started. Well, I am slowly getting back to updating a little more frequently. Let's see what's new...
Well, Canada won, how many, I think it was 24 medals. That was a great medal count for us.
One of the main reasons I have not done anything is because I finally got my new computer and I have switched over to Apple World. My new iMac Intel dual core is running...."Awesomely"? Or something like that. It is a very big change, and I am trying to figure out how the whole Macintosh thing works, so bare with me!
I was just adding March 2006 photos and then it suddenly hit me. I now have been officially blogging for 1 year! Happy anniversary to me and my readers. So thanks to all you people who have visited me about 4570 times.
And thanks to those that signed up on the automatic email update. That makes it easier on all of us. If you want the automatic update sent to you whenever there is a update at MY site and only MY site, just enter your email on the right. You will only get an update when new material is added.
The iMac seems to have great multimedia advantages, and I think you will all see and hear them as there will be new material coming soon from Koziol Productions. We are working on new film and there may even be some musical work on the near horizon. Fun times are coming.
What else, oh, who knows! But I will be back soon for more updating.
