The year continues to fly by and, somehow, we are already approaching mid-October! We are fortunate to have a long weekend of great weather ahead of us, so get out there and enjoy yourselves, folks!

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!

Bundle up and prepare to get festive: we are full on into the holiday events this weekend!

When you’re making your weekend list, be sure to check it twice! Holiday events are in full swing, including the Help Santa Toy Parade on Saturday.

This long October weekend is about fall, feasts, family, and friends. When you aren’t stuffing yourself with turkey and pumpkin pie, there are plenty of things to do – both seasonal and otherwise. 

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.

Welcome to the first weekend of December! The cold weather is here to stay, and it seems like everyone has the holiday season on the brain. There is lots going on around town, especially if you’re looking to get festive. If you’re interested in holiday markets, I can’t promise that I’ve tracked all of them […]

Happy spring holidays, friends! Whether you’re celebrating Easter, Passover, Ramadan, or just surviving the latest ice storm, let’s all make the most of the long weekend ahead! With the weather turning warmer, and an extra day or two off for some of us, this is a great opportunity to soak in some culture and get set for when Real Spring arrives!

Sure, the weather is cooler and the trees are getting bare, but there are plenty of activities to keep you warm and also to get you ready for the holidays — which will be here before you know it!

This summer, Apt613 is thrilled to launch Ottawa’s Best Home Garden, an initiative aimed at showcasing Ottawa’s green thumb and fine folks who are augmenting the beauty of our city. And the winner is…

Summer is not over yet, so as the community’s vaccination numbers rise, take advantage of Ottawa’s hot summer days to soak up some sun, catch up with some friends, and get reacquainted with all the cool nooks and crannies of the city that we love! Stay safe, celebrate August, check in on your isolated friends and family, and take care of one another!

The winner of Ottawa’s Best Home Garden contest will receive a $250 gift card prize for a shopping spree at a locally-owned garden centre.
