A Sunday afternon with Frank Aguirre

[beowulf]

How the heck is Barrhaven far?  This is a smallish city afterall.

[washefuzzy]

Only on bus. Takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours one way. 
But for Frank it would be worth it.

[Nerine]

Anywhere in Ottawa is far on the bus...
it's shorter for me to walk to the library...than take a 40 min bus ride for something I can walk in 15 mins

Point I am trying to make is if we invite him isn't OVAS paying? Then better to make it as accessible as possible for all our members.

[groupie02]

yeah... remember those from Gatineau

"Far" is a person's individual perspective.  It takes me 40 minutes to drive there, so I personally consider it far.  People who live there obviously don't think it's such a hike and people who go there for a great reason, like work or an important event, go regardless of how they feel about the distance.  That doesn't mean that those of us who think that a certain place is "far" have the wrong idea and need to be corrected.  I would think that if an event is being planned and people are asked for their input, this is a valid comment.

As I said, I'll be happy to go to a meeting in Barrhaven, despite how FAR I have to travel. 

[fischkopp]

Montreal would be far - despite the fact that probably everyone of us made a trip there once to check out Point Claire

Honestly, any place in the Greater Ottawa Area is just fine as long as the location provides a nice atmosphere and the topic of the talk interests me. Does anyone ever complain when going to see the Senator's?

[Fishhead89]

Sounds like fun. And I have no idea who this Frank Guy is?

[Fishnut]

Any news on this?
