They do neighbourhood clean- ups, collecting garbage. And they’ve adopted a park. Welcome to the 30th Ottawa Girl Guides, a community that has been operating out of the Trinity Church basement for a few decades. It now consists of 70 girls, including Sparks (kindergarten and grade 1), Brown- ies (grades 2 and 3), Guides (grades 4, 5 and 6), Pathfinders (grades 7, 8 and 9) and Rangers (high schoolers). Whatever the age group, the weekly sessions are rich and lively. At a recent early evening session the Brownies featured Earth Day, then went for a walk on the earth of OOS. Another evening the Guides worked to get their “plant” and “ani- mal” badges, and a week later did orienteering in Brewer Park. Discovery Girl Guides began in England in 1909, and by the next year there was OOS Girl Guides during an orienteering excursion to Brewer Park. a unit in Canada (St. Catherine’s).

Retrievec from: _number=1475 https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/on/rideau/info/sacr-rcls Lessons The Rideau Canal waterway cannot be seen isolated from the rich cultural landscape corridor, urban, suburban and rural, that it is part of. In Ottawa, the Rideau Canal waterway and the surrounding urban areas form a harmonious setting that contributes significantly to the unique character of the area landscape. However, recent development projects such as the Ottawa Convention Centre and the Chateau Laurier proposed addition showed that it is this proximity to the urban core area of the city that represents the primary risk of negatively impacting the integrity and visual character of the heritage resource; In Ottawa, the Rideau Canal is used as a transportation corridor to move in and out of the urban centre through a network of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians’ infrastructure. On the other hand, in several locations along its pathway, the Canal constitutes a barrier between neighbourhoods, limiting the movement of pedestrians and cyclists. This, despite the Rideau Canal’s potential to enhance connectivity along and across the Canal by balancing all modes of transportation, especially to respond to increasing walkability.

  • Tulips & Tots on Two Wheels Regular Route
    Tulips & Tots on Two Wheels ­ Regular Route There are lots of family­friendly activities planned at Tulip Festival and bikes are a great way to get between these. The main spots for families are at Lansdowne and Commissioner’s Park but we’re suggesting a few other stops to keep the young ones (or just the young at heart!) entertained and happy. This route is about 15km for the whole round, which might be a bit long for our littlest bike buddies, but you can do any portion of it on its own. Experience Level: This tour is designed to get you around on car­free pathways and low­traffic streets, so are great for people of all ages with all kinds of experience levels riding bikes. This route is intended both for families with kids on bikes or in bike seats and for families with kids in trailers. At one point, part of it isn’t accessible to trailers and or you may prefer to avoid it if you’ve got your hands full with young kids, so we’ve given an alternative option for accessing that part of the tour or you can just skip it altogether. Tips are provided for dealing with hills (which we avoid in our routes as much as possible!) and bike parking options. Starting point: You can start from any point in the route, but it’s easiest to go in a clockwise direction given the cycling facilities. We’re listing the routes from one start point, but are including information to complete the loop at the bottom of the tour.
