TRAVEL SLEUTH
Ottawa
What’s On!
WINTER IS A FABULOUS TIME TO VISIT CANADA’S CAPITAL— EVEN IF YOU HATE THE COLD.
BY LAURA BYRNE PAQUET
Sure, Ottawa’s winters are nippy. What else would you expect from the capital of a northern country? However, that doesn’t mean winter isn’t also a fantastic time to visit the city. Inside Ottawa’s museums, galleries and theatres, you’ll find so many exhibitions, plays and concerts that you won’t give the falling mercury a second thought. And if you revel in glittering, snowy days, you’ll love the city’s outdoor markets, rinks and trails! Here’s a sampling of what Ottawa is offering visitors this winter.
SEE ART IN A NEW WAY
At the National Gallery of Canada, a thought-provoking exhibition of eight Canadian artists awarded the Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts can be viewed until January 29, 2023. Included in the exhibition are works by the New Brunswick jeweller and metalsmith Brigitte Clavette and Toronto-born visual artist Moyra Frances Davey.
The gallery has installed these artworks in locations throughout the permanent collection. See pieces by Inuit sculptor David Ruben
