Arts & Culture

The Hill is a must when visiting the National Capital Region. The front lawn is great for a picnic, bocce ball, or cartwheels. Tours are available hourly, and if you're visiting during the week and the Parliament is sitting, I would be happy to get you into Question Period, House proceedings, or Senate proceedings.

Everything Else

If you are here in the winter, you have to take some time to rent some skates and go skating on the Canal. Don't forget some $ for hot chocolate and a Beaver Tail!
