Freewheeling Craft

Fall is in the air! And according to the forecast, so is some rain. But rain or shine, we’ve got some great events lined up this weekend. 

Bad news: the forecast calls for rain this weekend. Good news: it’ll (hopefully!) wash away the final remnants of winter just in time for spring blooms to decorate the city. While waiting on that sunny weather, here are a few things to keep you occupied. 

Finding the right fit takes time. After looking at many locations, Amanda Cockburn, founder of Freewheeling Craft, an organization bringing new and established artisans together, finally found a dream space to connect Ottawa artists. A long time in the making, but nonetheless worth the wait, 70B Beech officially opens this April.

It’s the weekend — and with the ongoing state of emergency here in Ottawa, we can bet what everyone needs is an opportunity to rest and recalibrate. Here are some suggestions for how you can go about doing so.

Whether you’re checking out some local fall foliage, listening to live music, or or watching the game (pick your sports, there are plenty of options this weekend), we’ve got your weekend plans covered.

It seems like March has stumbled in like a lamb despite the cold temperatures, and while I have no real idea what that means, I do know that we are just one week closer to real Spring.

We’ve arrived at yet another pandemic-style holiday weekend and things are…weird, to put it bluntly. While we may still be required to stay at home this Valentine’s/Family Day long weekend, there is plenty to do while staying safely away from others. Also, let’s not get too excited, but it would appear that the lockdown measures in Ottawa are reaching their end and the slow reopening of non-essential services is just around the corner, so that’s another thing to celebrate, along with an extra day off work.

Enjoy every day! Whether that be at home streaming quality content, or maintaining distance at a cool local event, stay safe, and stay kind Ottawa!

Get out there and enjoy your weekend. Take lots of photos and be sure to tag them with #APT613.

Welcome to March, the time of year when it’s safest to bring an umbrella along with your toque and sunglasses. Just because the weather can’t make up it’s mind doesn’t mean you have to stay inside. Plenty of options this weekend, so enjoy!
