Whenever someone tells you Ottawa is a boring government town, tell them I said they clearly never had to put together a Weekend Roundup. I am constantly baffled by the amount of things going on across the capital – and people’s ability to somehow miss them! Tell your friends – send them to Apartment 613. […]
Hopefully, you’ll have some time off work to enjoy a long weekend. Plenty is happening indoors and out, so check that forecast (and air quality index?!) and hit up some incredible events across our great city. This weekend is another great opportunity to reflect and learn about the land upon which our city is built—the unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin Territory. You can learn more at Native Land.
Need to start planning your Halloween costume? Want to get out for some great shows? Pick up a new skill? We’ve got you covered for all that and more in this weekend’s roundup.

Review by Brian M. Carroll 175 minutes (including one intermission) | Historical Drama | G Like Shel Silverstein’s poem Hamlet as Told on the Streets, the Company of Fools’ street smart production of Hal and Falstaff is aimed at the rabble: the types of folks who paid a penny to stand in the pit of the original Globe […]
