Mayor Jim Watson invites you to his annual Family Day Skating Party at City Hall on Monday, February 19 (Family Day) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The party will go ahead rain or shine, whether the Sens Rink of Dreams is open or closed.
The party will feature many of your favourite local mascots, free indoor and outdoor family activities, as well as free coffee and hot chocolate, compliments of Tim Hortons Restaurants (while supplies last). You can take the Healthy Kids Community Challenge water pledge and you may even see:
- Eccentric Adam’s dinosaurs
- Megatron
- Imperial Storm Troopers
The Time Capsule Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Canada will be on display. The capsule includes artefacts to serve as a reminder to future generations of what it meant to live in Ottawa in 2017, Canada’s sesquicentennial year. It will be opened again in 2067, during Canada’s bicentennial year.
Mayor Watson will lace up his skates for the first time this season, at approximately 11:45 a.m.
Come in the morning and stay all afternoon to enjoy these Winterlude activities:
- Airborne!

Parking at City Hall is only $2 for the day on weekends and holidays. Or, take the free OLG Sno-bus to City Hall between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the last day of Winterlude.
