Ottawa– It’s Winter in the City and there’s a lot to do in and around Ottawa.
Enjoy the season by going for a skate at a City facility or signing up for a course. Join the excitement at a Senators game or at Lansdowne with the Ottawa 67’s. Celebrate the arts at Centrepointe Theatres and Shenkman Arts Centre, or discover the past at a City museum or the Ottawa Archives.
Due to the warm weather, the Sens Rink of Dreams is currently closed, but will re-open on Christmas Day starting at 1 p.m. For updates on the Sens Rink of Dreams, the Lansdowne Skating Court and the Ben Franklin Place Skating Rink keep checking ottawa.ca for updates. Also, public skating sessions at City facilities are free on weekends until March 27, 2016, compliments of RBC Royal Bank.
City Hall is a great place to visit this season with the Karsh-Masson Gallery, Barbara Ann Scott Gallery, and the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame.
Be sure to check out Winter in the City to keep up-to-date on what’s happening around town.
