Finally, we’ve reached the last weekend of January! Winterlude kicks off this weekend, and for the first time in a long time, the weather is cooperating for the winter festival, and keeping the canal open and sculptures frozen! If the outdoors aren’t your jam, there is plenty to do inside this weekend too, from live music, to craft markets and seed planting workshops.
Well, it’s here. Winter really just arrived in all its glory, and I hope everyone is safe, dry, and feeling cozy. If you are looking to get out of the house this weekend, there is definitely lots going on, both Christmas themed and not. Dig out your driest socks and make the most of the city when it’s all clean and white!
Some of us lucky folks have a long weekend, but even if you don’t, there’s so much to check out around the city that you’ll make the most of it.
It’s the second weekend of Winterlude and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the Rideau Canal will reopen. In the meantime, we’ve got a jam packed weekend of winter fun!
Half an hour of physical activity each day for 30 days. That’s what Happiness Habits 613, a grassroots local wellness group, is promoting in June with daily free outdoor community experiences for everyone—all ages, all fitness levels—to increase physical health, mental health, and happiness.
It’s *technically* the second weekend of Winterlude, but after a rollercoaster week of weather, the Rideau Canal still hasn’t opened and ice carvings are starting to melt (despite the best efforts of NCC staff!). That said, there are still some great Winterlude-esque activities to enjoy this weekend, plus a number of other great Ottawa events.
Let’s all make February the happiest month of the year! Happiness Habits 613, a grassroots local wellness group, is back for another 28 days of free community experiences in February to dig deeper into cultivating happiness for the entire city. Through in-person and virtual community events, the nine pillars of happiness are showcased to everyone and anyone.
Welcome to a very special leap year edition of the Weekend Roundup! There is plenty going on around town to celebrate the occasion and, if you were short on ideas, we here at Apt613 have got you covered!
It’s a long weekend for many and there is plenty taking place all weekend long. Whether you’re celebrating with friends, exploring the city with family, or enjoying a special night with a loved one, here are some ways to make the most of this weekend.
Happiness Habits 613 events are open to anyone looking to explore and nurture what makes them happy.
