FYI for those in Ottawa anyway, yes there’s a list of pharmacies, but none of them are showing any availability of Covid or flu vaccine appointments

If you want to find Other Places Books (and guest author @sillysyntax.bsky.social) at the Winnipeg Queer Book Fair tomorrow (at Victoria Inn), this may help:

It's a drawing showing the locations of tables at the book fair. The tables are numbered. At the left is the entrance. At the right end of the center rows are tables 16 and 31. Those are the Other Places Books tables. We're right in front of the book nook reading area, which is at the very end.
