Mayor Jim Watson will have to watch Saturday’s NHL100 Classic from the comforts of his hospital bed.
After chairing a lengthy council meeting on Wednesday, with the highlight being the passage of the 2018 budget, Watson was admitted to the Queensway Carleton Hospital after experiencing “significant pain.”
He had his appendix removed later that evening and remains in hospital.
On Friday, his office announced the mayor will not return to Ottawa City Hall until 2018. “On the advice of his doctor, Mayor Watson will be taking a few more days to recover. He is expecting to leave the Queensway Carleton Hospital sometime over the course of the weekend,” said Serge Arpin, his chief of staff, in a statement.
Saturday’s outdoor NHL game at TD Place between the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens is one of the marquee events of the city’s year-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.
For Watson, 56, it was part of what he saw as a hat trick of events he hoped the city would host, along with the Juno Awards and the CFL Grey Cup.
Deputy mayors Bob Monette and Mark Taylor, who attend some events when the mayor is tied up with other business and activities, have already been called into action to cover for Watson, who likes to keep a packed schedule of public appearances.
