CBC’s Judy Trinh has been hosting a series on creative budgeting this week, and on Monday I was interviewed for the final segment of the series. I was really nervous, but Judy and Tony, the cameraman, really put me at ease. So I’ll be on CBC Ottawa news Friday evening talking about Frugal Fun Ottawa!
This weekend in Ottawa:
- The Main Branch of the Ottawa Public Library is presenting the Discovery Channel series Unknown Taiwan – at noon on Friday you can watch Unknown Taiwan: Penghu, and they will be showing Unknown Kinmen at noon on Tuesday;
