You might be thinking this is the worst part of the season – Winterlude is over and there’s nothing to do. Well, you’d be wrong! Here’s just a sample of indoor and outdoor activities taking place this weekend. All weekend If you want to get cozy, head to one of Ottawa’s independent movie theatres for […]
It looks like we are in for a mild February weekend and it couldn’t be better timing, as there is a ton of fun stuff going on outdoors this weekend. There is also plenty happening inside, for you indoor cats, as well.
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.
This cold snap has been great news for fans of winter activities!
Even those of us who aren’t big fans of winter are happy to see the canal opened, which means we can officially enjoy winter! Details below on how to check canal skate conditions and openings/closures, but also lots of indoor activities if you need to warm up.
Another weekend, another weather rollercoaster for us here in the 613, friends. So whether it snows, slushes, freezes or shines, there are lots of activities both indoors and outdoors to keep you occupied for the last weekend of the month.
We have arrived at the first weekend of Winterlude here in the nation’s capital! While it doesn’t look as though the canal will be open for skating at any point, there are still plenty of fun outdoor winter activities to enjoy in this mild winter weather, as well as several indoor activities, if that is more your style.
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.
Hi friends, how are you holding up? We’ve come to another weekend in our beautiful city, and this was originally going to be a post all about the hundreds of fantastic things that we can do again, now that Ontario has entered Step 1 of our gradual winter re-opening. In some parts of the city […]
A big shoutout to everyone who’s pivoted, clamped down, postponed and reshuffled their plans, events and businesses once again as we try to get through this wave of the pandemic. Don’t forget to check out your fave local businesses and restaurants to see what they’re offering online or as takeout to help them get through this too!
Due to new pandemic restrictions, this week’s roundup does away with our traditional Roundup in favour of a curated pile of ideas to get you through the weekend and hopefully the next little while!
Things are starting to look up for us, Ottawa. Both the days and the Rideau Canal Skateway have gotten longer this week, and we may be on the precipice of a cautious reopening. (Maybe. Don’t quote me.) February is the shortest month of the year, so let’s get through it gracefully, with heart and some optimism for the approaching spring!
The National Capital Commission’s ice team has done their part so that a 2.4 kilometre section of the Rideau Canal Skateway will open today.
Welcome to the weekend!
The weather is cooperating, the ice carvers’ chain saws are buzzing and everything’s well underway for the 40th anniversary celebration of Winterlude.
