It may not feel like it, with the weather still being generally chilly, but we have made it to May! Spring market season is upon us, and there are several of them happening this weekend, alongside a bunch of other fun things—so without further ado, we give you the Weekend Roundup!
April showers have brought us May flowers! Although we’re still a week away from the start of the annual Canadian Tulip Festival, some of the early tulips have bloomed in Major’s Hill Park, along the Rideau Canal, and at Dow’s Lake. While I could easily spend a weekend touring the tulips, there are plenty of other options to pass your time this weekend.
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.
In response to popular demand, the social enterprise has also started catering.
Mealshare has added 20+ new resturants to its list of partner restaurants, making it easier than ever to help end youth hunger in Ottawa.
Be613, an Ottawa-based speaker and workshop series, is presenting their latest event on Friday June 22. BeEngaging will bring together three local creatives for a panel discussion about experimental marketing.
This March, Carlington Community Health Centre announced that the new Carlington Community Health Hub will have an expanded Community Health Center. It will be connected to 42 affordable 1-bedroom units, of which 12 are accessible units that will help an underserved segment of the housing market.
The great melt is upon us and, perhaps, the groundhog was wrong this year. With spring in your step, take the bull by the horns: the weekend is front loaded this time round, with plenty going on this Thursday and Friday. So much so that you’ll appreciate the slower Saturday to rest up and regroup for the week to come.
On November 29, Mealshare, a Canadian social enterprise with the goal of ending youth hunger, celebrated reaching its “millionth meal” milestone nation-wide.
This social enterprise will deliver you healthy meals, for $8!
