The Ottawan, an Ottawa-based online local news and culture magazine, has awarded John awards for:
1st Place: Best Local Solo Musician
3rd Place: Community Hero of the Year
As John said on social media:
“Well this is a fun surprise… Thanks for those of you who voted! As I mentioned before, I don’t generally put a lot of stock in these kind of things. I’m going to keep on truckin’ either way. But it is very nice to know I have you great folks in my corner 
Keep on rockin’!
Here’s the link for the awards. There are some really good people, places and things on here for you to check out. Ottawa is a great city. I don’t know why we have to keep reminding ourselves of that. https://theottawan.com/…/best-of-ottawa-awards-2026…
PS, the “Local Hero” thing is for Lisa’s and my work supporting Rural Food Banks with our benefit shows and outreach work we do. Don’t get to thinking I’m going to climb a tree and rescue your cat (although I probably would…)
