🐣 Happy Easter Monday, Ottawa!
The long weekend is winding down, but there’s still time for some final family fun before the school routine starts back up tomorrow.
Two great ways to enjoy the outdoors:
Visit the Arboretum & Ornamental Gardens: Take a beautiful spring stroll through the Central Experimental Farm. It’s the perfect spot for fresh air and a family walk.
Scenic Fun at Andrew Haydon Park: Head to the water for some birdwatching. The wide-open spaces are great for the kids to burn off that extra chocolate energy!
🎨 Relax & Color Together
When you’re ready to head inside and get cozy, we have a special gift for you. We’ve put together a set of custom spring coloring pages for all ages.
Enjoy the coloring for the whole family by our local author, Basilia Vasileios!

The "Play Free" City Program
The City of Ottawa has a fantastic initiative called Play Free.
What it is: Free drop-in swimming, skating, and gymnasium sports every Saturday.
Who it’s for: Children and youth (17 and under) and their accompanying adults.
How to do it: Check the City of Ottawa website for specific schedules at your local community center (like Nepean Centrepointe, Richcraft, or Minto).
Parliament Hill & Senate Tours
While the Centre Block is under construction, you can still take the family inside the capital's most iconic buildings for free.
The Senate of Canada Building: Located in the old train station, it’s stunning and very "Harry Potter" for kids.
House of Commons (West Block): See where the laws are made.
Note: You must reserve your free tickets online in advance at visit.parl.ca.
The Bank of Canada Museum
Location: 30 Bank Street.
Why it’s great: It is always free. It’s highly interactive—kids can design their own digital "avatar" on a wristband and play games that teach them about money in a way that feels like a video game arcade.
