With the news this week that the Rideau Canal Skateway has closed for the season and warmer temperatures in the forecast, it feels like we’re slowly but surely making our way towards spring. This weekend we’ve got an exciting mix of St. Patrick’s Day festivities and March break activities.
Will March be coming in like a lion or a lamb? We will find out this weekend either way! With the temps dropping again, we may return to our favourite winter activities, like mountain goating over downtown snow banks and skating on the canal. If you’d rather be indoorsy, we have you covered.
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!
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.

The grass is greener, the blooms are blooming, and patios are starting to open back up for spring! Hurrah! This weekend is shaping up to be a lovely calm before the storm of busy spring weekends and festivals, so enjoy the fresh air, cheer on our teams, or take in some culture. All Weekend This […]
