The Bytown Voices is a non-audition community chorus made up of enthusiastic singers from across Ottawa. Many of the members are from the Glebe because the choir is directly connected to the former Glebe Singers. When the Glebe Singers became an all-female choir in 1999, Bytown Voices McKercher Renovations inc. was established by people who wanted to continue in a SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) four-voice choir. This choir has also carried on the tradition of an /27-3 Residential association with the National Chorale of Jamaica, first forged with the Glebe Interior/Exterior Singers.

Ice Dammmg

Ice build-up - also known as "ice damming" - typically occurs after a large snowfall, when nighttimne temperatures fall below freezing and when daytime temperatures rise above freezing. Snow melts over heated areas of the home (areas within the attic that are situated over interior rooms) and remains frozen over unheated air space such as the eaves (the overhanging section of the roof). As the snow melts on the upper section, the water drains towards the eaves and is collected by the ice that has formed over the Illustration: Gwendolyn Best unheated roof space. This creates the "ice dam". As water builds up behind the dam, it begins to rise in level, creeping up and under the roof shingles. Where no eaves protection has been installed, Preventive Health Care water can penetrate the roof causing interior water damage. g, Pet For Your Pet Vaccinations osr, As an expert in the older homes found in Ottawa Dental Care South and the Glebe, Tracy Arnett can provide you -Jr .
