The self-proclaimed 'Shawarma Capital of Canada' is using the Middle Eastern dish to educate Ottawa residents about weather warnings.
The City of Ottawa issued a Shawarma weather graphic to explain the difference between a weather watch and a weather warning. When Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm watch and a severe thunderstorm warning for Ottawa on Wednesday, the city shared social media posts titled"Shawarma Watch vs. Shawarma Warning."
Ottawa has seen several severe thunderstorm watches and warnings and tornado alerts over the past few summers. Last summer, three tornadoes touched down in Ottawa in July and August. This is an urgent message that severe weather is either occurring or imminent.
