If you don’t know about the Diefenbunker, you’re in good company. I’ve lived within 200 kilometres of it for most of my life, yet I had no idea it existed until a few years ago. But it’s not a secret…. anymore. And it just won a Corporate Vision Award (CVA): Best 20th Century History Attraction. It won a CVA last year too.
We’ve got lots of Winterlude activities happening on the Family Day weekend, plus some great music shows and festivals!
It’s another busy summer weekend, with the start of Capital Pride, a couple of great food fests, flower markets, theatre—a little bit of everything.
Seventy-five feet underground, 30 kilometres west of downtown Ottawa, lies a piece of Canadian and world history that many don’t know about—a nuclear fallout shelter now turned museum. Ottawa actors Pierre Brault and Peter Haworth want to bring this history to life by interpreting events in an interactive walking play through the museum called Dief the Chief: October ‘62.
There’s no better way to kick off the weekend than by celebrating Ottawa’s amazing local arts and culture this Thursday at 613 Day.
Unbelievably, this weekend marks the arrival of June! With it comes blue skies, sunshine, and a whole lot to get out and do around town! The weekend is chock-full of fun, so without further ado, we give you the Weekend Roundup!
The longest of the long weekends is here! There are an extra two days to pack with excitement, fun, and a little necessary rest. Looking for ideas as to what to get up to? Us folk at Apt613 have you covered! We present to you the Weekend Roundup.
Welcome to March! After a tumultuous winter with massive snowfalls and no skating Rideau Canal, we’re on our way to spring.
The weather is getting cooler and the countdown to the holidays is on.
Every first Monday of the month, Apartment613 publishes the coolest #ottarts #ottjobs we hear about. All the best arts and culture gigs in our local network.
The #MyOttawa Pass is an initiative that will help Ottawa residents explore the city while enjoying discounts at local businesses.
After snoozling our way through work and school all week in a turkey coma, we have earned a fun and cool weekend to celebrate fall and everything cozy and hip that the city has to offer.
A couple Cold War cold ones? Big Rig, Stalwart, and Ridge Rock breweries are all participating in the inaugural tasting event.
Canada Day falls on a Monday this year, making this a special extended edition of the weekend roundup. Have fun, stay hydrated, and enjoy the long weekend!
It has been a rollercoaster of a week here in the 613, and between the crazy weather, the flooding and the start of a new month we all deserve a weekend to recharge and reconnect with good people and places!
