Urban Legends Poetry Collective

The first weekend of April has arrived and with it comes many fun activities around town. Get out there and enjoy yourselves and celebrate the end of yet another work week.

This cold snap has been great news for fans of winter activities!

We’ve made it to the end of the work week! While last weekend was a little cool and dreary, this weekend brings with it the return of summer’s heat. Take advantage of the sunny skies and enjoy the plethora of outdoor events taking place this weekend (and some great indoor events too)!

To celebrate 15 years of spoken word in the city, Urban Legends Poetry Collective (ULPC) is bringing all kinds of poetic resonance to Ottawa in a weekend full of incredible events. From Sept. 13–15, ULPC is hosting a triple-bill season opener that includes a variety of artistic performance and poetry.
