What better time to stop thinking about the winter weather and start looking forward to warmer days? With spring just around the corner, the City of Ottawa has a variety of upcoming recreation and cultural programs available for everyone.

Whether you’re into team sports, spin classes, board games, dance, cooking, swimming, drawing, yoga, science or any other activity that keeps your body and mind active, there’s something for small children to older adults at register.ottawa.ca.

Activities will be available to view online starting Tuesday, January 27, with registration opening at 9 pm on Tuesday, February 10 for aquatics and 9 pm on Thursday, February 12 for all other programs. In-person registration takes place the day after online registration, during business hours.
