As we gear down a bit to enjoy the warmer weather
and longer days, Canada - and especially Ottawa is gearing up for an epic 150th birthday bash! There
are so many fantastic events taking place – be sure
to fit some of them in to your schedule. This guide
should help, but you can also visit ottawa2017.ca to
see what Canada150 activities are happening in the
city all year long.
And don’t forget about the unplanned and
unscheduled pleasures that summer brings – a good
book, backyard camping, morning walks, impromptu
summer drives…
Here’s to making the most of your summer season!
