As a resident of Wellington West, I am very proud of our stretch of West-End Ottawa's epicurean row. And, I do my best to support the local businesses in the neighbourhood. Thus, I look forward to the Wellington West's Business Improvement Association's (BIA) "Taste of..." event every year. 2009 will be its third annual. However, spring has almost completely sprung without any sign of the event.

A quick look at the BIA's calendar of events explains why. The event has been rescheduled for the fall (September 26, 2009), making it an Autumn event instead of a Spring one. Such isn't a bad idea since the event has been a May occurrence during the past two years. Seasonal ingredients such as locally farmed fruits or vegetables must have been somewhat difficult to come by. Moving the event to the fall means that local restaurants and the Parkdale Market can exploit the glut of Autumn produce.

Cool! So long as the powers that be haven't canceled the event! I'll have to check back with the Wellington West BIA's website more often...

Update: The Taste of Wellington seems definitely a go and more eateries are involved this year!
