Ottawa Family Fun

Ok, I am back. I missed last week…no real excuse, except that I was not near my computer much. Looks like the activities I am writing about this week are both Alcatel sponsored!

Don’t forget that the Alcatel Ottawa International Children’s Festival runs this week:
June 1st - June 5th … Ticket on sale now!!! . Some of the shows are sold out, so if you are interested in seeing something get your tickets in advance!

I have never attended the children’s festival, but it looks like excellent entertainment!!!! Tickets are $15 for a day pass or $8.50 per show.)

Check out their website for more details on show times: http://www.ottawachildrensfestival.ca/en/2005/Default.asp

Again, anyone with photos of people participating in activities in the city, go to our photo gallery and add them! If you ran in the National Capital Race Weekend (http://www.ncm.ca/) or were just out taking pictures, please feel free to add your photos.

Oh, and don’t forget that the Alcatel Sunday Bike Days have started!
