Along with a mention of what the Ottawa International Animation Festival has in store, the ByTowne and Mayfair have a myriad of films for us in the vault.
In preparation for the Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF) on Sept. 24-28, there are two fantastic animated films from the vault in the first half of September. There are also some acclaimed classics, including the film that started the whole summer blockbuster trend. Plus new releases, including an Ottawa premiere.
The Central Experimental Farm is a well-loved jewel in the heart of the city, boasting a rich and fascinating history, as well as a key role in Canada’s agricultural science. In a new five-session Speaker Series, the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm are sharing their horticultural and historic knowledge with the public, aiming to provide locals with a deeper understanding of the farm’s history and the fundamentals of horticulture that can be applied at home. Teaming up with scientists from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the free speaker series will cover different aspects of the farm’s relevance to the city, from invasive insects to famous women horticulturalists in history. The series has something for everyone.

The Ottawa BlackJacks dramatically opened their 2025 CEBL campaign in coach DeAveiro’s first official game in charge, falling just short in a nail-biting 87–85 loss to the Niagara River Lions in front of a packed and energized crowd at TD Place.
