Is it illegal to eat ice-cream on Bank Street on a Sunday?

I came across this "dumb law" via Google's new buzz:

It is illegal to eat ice-cream on Bank Street on a Sunday.

This dumb law appears frequent in "dumb law" lists on the internet.

Being the brat I am, I emailed the City of Ottawa.

There seems to be an urban legend that it is illegal to eat ice cream on Bank Street on Sundays. (See http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/469049/stupid_laws_in_canada.html?cat=17)

Can you let me know if this is true? If so, can you refer me to the City bylaw? Thank you!

The reply arrived less than a half hour later:

Hello Michelle

Thank you for your e-mail. Although interesting, I have never heard of such a law in the City of Ottawa. I am sure you can happily enjoy an ice cream on Bank Street without concern.
