Just three weeks in the making, the Ottawa Gatineau Compilation Series is throwing it back to the ‘80s and ‘90s mixtape. Launching this Friday, the series drops its first EP-length compilation of exclusive music by eclectic capital-area bands via Bandcamp. The winter collection features one track from each of five artists, with all proceeds going to the Ottawa Food Bank.

The end of August is upon us. It may not seem like it, with the blazing hot weather we’ve been having, but summer is winding down. Thankfully, there is plenty to do this weekend – whether in person or virtually – to help you make the most of one of the last weekends of the season.
