Adventures in the outdoors
Over the past few years, my crew and I have enjoyed going to the Winterlude activities in Ottawa. If you have never ventured to this region, it really is a must do. Even if you miss Winterlude and all that comes with it, you really need to get to the region to skate on the canal.
