Yes, it's blustery cold, but it doesn't seem so bad of the Heartland when you can stop along the way to enjoy warm beaver tails and 5. Life in the Big Apple hot chocolate. Even with the cold, I'd rather be skating than joining 6. 'Dropping Anchor' in the runners and bikers along Colonel By Drive or Queen Elizabeth Anchorage Drive either side of the canal. Yes, even in the snow! Next week, we may cross-country ski between our home downtown and the office at CSE along the paths of the Rideau River. All of this will put us in perfect shape and in the right frame of mind to have a ball at Winterlude in February. Maybe there'll be time to watch a Senators ice hockey game or participate in the locals' curling tournament, as well.

  • The Best of Ottawa

    The Best of Ottawa

    1 The Best of Ottawa As a native of this city, I’ve seen Ottawa evolve over 5 decades—from a sleepy civil service town to a national capital that can proudly hold its own with any city of comparable size. The official population is more than 800,000, but the central core is compact and its skyline relatively short. Most Ottawans live in suburban, or even rural, communities. The buses are packed twice a day with government workers who live in communities like Kanata, Nepean, Gloucester, and Orleans, which were individually incorporated cities until municipal amalgamation in 2001. Although there are a number of residential neighborhoods close to downtown, you won’t find the kind of towering condominiums that line the downtown streets of Toronto or Vancouver. As a result, Ottawa is not the kind of city where the downtown sidewalks are bustling with people after dark, with the exception of the ByWard Market and Elgin Street. One could make the case that Ottawa would be very dull indeed were it not for Queen Victoria’s decision to anoint it capital of the newly minted Dominion of Canada. Thanks to her choice, tourists flock to the Parliament Buildings, five major national museums, a handful of government-funded festivals, and the Rideau Canal. Increasingly, tourists are spreading out beyond the well-established attractions to discover the burgeoning urban neighborhoods like Wellington West and the Glebe, and venturing into the nearby countryside. For visitors, Ottawa is an ideal walking city. Most of the major attractions—and since this is a national capital, there are many—are within easy walking distance of the major hotels.

  • The Art of Money Colville’S Centennial Coins

    ART CANADA INSTITUTE INSTITUT DE L’ART CANADIEN APRIL 30, 2021 THE ART OF MONEY COLVILLE’S CENTENNIAL COINS Fifty-four years ago Expo 67 opened in Montreal—and the coins created by revered Canadian painter Alex Colville were a part of the world fair festivities. On the anniversary of the event ACI is launching a new online exhibition about the famed currency that marked the country’s 100-year celebration of Confederation. In 2017, the Art Canada Institute published Alex Colville: Life & Work by Ray Cronin, a work about our country’s foremost realist painter and how he imbued his meticulously painted scenes of everyday life with profound questions about the human condition. Our new online exhibition takes a closer look at a highly celebrated project by the Toronto-born, Maritime-based artist, one that produced the most widely- circulated artistic objects in Canadian history: six centennial coins that Colville (1920–2013) designed in 1965 and 1966 for the Royal Canadian Mint in celebration of Canada’s one hundredth anniversary of Confederation. Marking the anniversary of the opening of Expo 67 on April 27, 1967, The Measure of Nature: Alex Colville’s Centennial Coins, presented in partnership with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and Billie Magazine, reveals the artist’s process of developing indelible currency inspired by Canadian wildlife. Sara Angel Founder and Executive Director, Art Canada Institute A NATIONAL TALENT Alex Colville, Family and Rainstorm, 1955 In 1964, when Minister of Finance Walter L. Gordon invited Canadian artists, sculptors, and designers to submit proposals for a coin set to be issued in 1967 to commemorate the Canadian Centennial, Colville’s career was thriving.
