Plans for Saturday night? Grab a warm blanket and head out to Centretown. If your kids are 7 & up (don’t quote me on the suggested age, but I think that 7 & up seems reasonable), check out the Centretown Outdoor movie this Saturday night. It is the final show of […]

Kids love Hot Air Balloons! I remember as a kid watching the sky for them. I remember to this day (I was about 5 years old) when about 10 balloons went over our house in Regina, Sask. I ran back into the house and was yelling for my Mom to come and […]

What a great time! We didn’t need a fishing licence and had a blast! We went as part of a school trip and really enjoyed ourselves. The pricing is based on the size of the fish you catch, plus a $5 per fisherman/fisherperson/fisherkid/fisherwoman….. The only catch (other than the […]

I just received an email telling me that Kanata will once again have a Canada Day celebration! This is great! I live in the west end of the city and find that downtown can be a bit much with the kids. The Kanata Canada Day celebrations have always been great, the fireworks […]

As kids grow, it is not only difficult to keep them in shoes that fit, but to keep them on a bike that is the right size as well. I spoke about the great bike path information available from the Canada’s Capital Commision website (as well as other great sites) a little while ago. […]
