Spring is coming – however slowly!
3rd Annual Dog Walk-a-thon
Bring your four-legged friend out on Saturday April 27th to 6491 Jeanne d’Arc Blvd N (Convent Glen Shopping Centre) at 10am. This is a rain or shine event (dogs are mostly keen to walk regardless of the weather). We will head out on a 4km walk route together. We’ll end the walk back where we started and there will be a photo booth for you and your pooch hosted by the RBC branch. This event is open to all. Donations will be accepted for the Canadian Cancer Society. Follow our updates here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1908769599233178/
2nd Annual Bike Rodeo
On Saturday May 4th, dust off your bikes and bring out your little ones to take advantage of some bike safety activities with instructors from the City of Ottawa’s cycling education program. This is a great way to get a refresher on signals, handling, helmet fitting and more! This event is free and open to everyone. Location to be confirmed. Watch for an event to be posted on the Facebook group for updates and details.
