February can be a dreary month in Ottawa. Thankfully, the nation’s capital has an annual festival that urges folks to have some winter fun. So, a grey snowy day didn’t discourage us from taking in a little Winterlude. We headed to Confederation Park in downtown Ottawa to see the ice sculptures. If you’ve ever seen the

Had a blast this morning seeing producer Erin Lannan, and meeting co-hosts TL Rader and Neil Hedley of Rogers’ channel 22.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all! Since we couldn’t travel to Newfoundland this Christmas, we kept a little Newfoundland tradition alive here in Ottawa. My family of 4 got dressed up in as silly a fashion as we dared, and drove out to see my Aunt Sadie and Uncle Ray (who

I don’t buy into patriotic bursts of pride. But the “Ode to Newfoundland” is the one anthem that brings a tear to my eye. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SpUmZtaRBQ] Newfoundlanders love their home. And no one made us prouder to call Newfoundland home than recently retired premier of Newfoundland, Danny Williams.

Yup – Westjet has begun direct flights from Ottawa to Las Vegas. Right now it looks like flights will be Thursday and Sunday.

Non-stop to Vegas, baby – direct from Ottawa – it's in the cards Read More »
