Doors Open Ottawa
The 6th annual Doors Open Ottawa is taking place this weekend, Saturday June 2nd and Sunday the 3rd. For two days, participating buildings not normally open to the public will open their doors to visitors free of charge. It's a great opportunity to learn about our city's history, architecture and design.
During the past few months I've been reading Katharine Fletcher's Capital Walks - Walking Tours of Ottawa. This would give me the perfect opportunity to visit some of the wonderful buildings she describes in her book. Unfortunately I won't be around to take advantage of it.
But maybe you will.
Whether you choose to explore Ottawa's Youth Hostel, where the last public hanging in Canada is said to have occurred, or Manotick's SunTech hydroponic greenhouses, it sounds like a great way to spend a day - and a cheap one too! I'm already looking forward to next year's.
