* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Kichi Zībī Mīkan, formerly the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, will close between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., from Vimy Place to Carling Avenue, during the same period.
The NCC, which manages the scenic parkways, began reserving a portion of Queen Elizabeth Driveway for pedestrians and cyclists during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was responding to calls for more public space for people to exercise while remaining physically distanced, and the popularity of the initiative inspired its expansion, the Crown corporation said.
"We look forward to continuing to collaborate with our partners and stakeholders to create spaces and experiences that make our region a wonderful place to live and visit."
The NCC said according to its recent online survey, both tourists and residents are "highly satisfied" with the active-use parkways during warmer months.
But the program became a point of contention last year when Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and Nussbaum sparred publicly over the initiative.
