in the night garden hello
Confederation Park is one of the main centers of Winterlude Festival in Ottawa, and what is good for us is that remained in the street at the Lord Elgin. So that all I had to do was literally in the street and we were right in the heart of action.
Winterlude is a winter festival in Ottawa, organized by the Commission of the National Capital. It gathers events and exciting activities for the whole family and most activities are free. Naturally, Winterlude is a great attraction for tourists this year last festival attractive about 650,000 visitors.
One would think that Ottawa is a city of bureaucrats, who maintain a stiff upper lip in any time. Far from it, as we have seen in our Friday evening / mardi gras in the Byward Market, who know Ottawans Fun Winterlude and 2 weeks is an excuse long for all to go out and celebrate winter.
Winterlude is presented in the city, so here is a summary of some key sites of Winterlude
Confederation Park hosts the Casino du Lac-Leamy, a theater outdoors, including the Crystal Room, a variety of food vendors and outdoor sculptures.
When we left Saturday morning, we headed right on the competition ice sculptures, where 7 or 8 ice sculptors were working on blocks of ice, using a variety of power tools and shape the creatures of his imagination.
Used chain saws, electric hand tools and scissors draws slowly but surely create recognizable objects. Teddy Bear, and Choo Choo-trains were cartoon characters coming to life right before our eyes.
Confederation Park has also Fire and Ice is the cooking demonstrations at home, and renowned chefs and media personalities compete for the titles of Chief Winterlude ice.
Another place Winterlude just a few minutes is the American Express Snowbowl, located just a stage in front of the Central Government Conference. Programming this year includes Tom Cochrane and Red Rider, Mes aà ¯ them, Jully Black, Doba Caracol, Daniel Lanois and many more.
On the way back from Darcy McGee went down Saturday evening in Confederation Park and the American Express Snowbowl and took a bit of a live concert. The stage was set against the National Center conferences and has been beautifully lit in orange, pink and purple hues and the people were enjoying the live music.
The Rideau Canal Skateway is official Winterlude elsewhere. This past weekend I had the opportunity to discover the channel myself, and one day in the dry winter, it was a exhiliariting experience of driving almost weightless on the frozen area of 7.8 km long Rideau Canal, in fact Bigger world ice skating natural surface, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
The Rideau Canal Skateway it contains a variety activities: you can get a taste of Aboriginal culture, traditions and cuisine in the village of Pig Island Aboriginal. The Canadian Tire JumpStart Business Center Fifth Avenue, allows children to test their hockey skills, and can also test the system as a springboard Jump. Union Station, Rideau Street offers an atmosphere of 1920: the history of the station yard on the banks of the Rideau River is told in the interpretive signs and exhibits.
Last Saturday, the 26th year on the Lake Dow bed sporting career ingenous combined engineering and fundraising for a great day of love and laughter.
Another opportunity fundraising coming up February 19, 2006, when Canadian Tire was invited to participate in the Great Skate 11-3 in the ice of the Rideau Canal Avenue Fifth. The collection will go to Canadian Tire JumpStart, a charitable program created by the Canadian Foundation for Families of tires that helps children in need participate in sports and organized recreation.
On the other side of the Ottawa River in Hull, Quebec, Jacques-Cartier home of the official snowflake United Kingdom and elsewhere Official Winterlude. Hogs offer ice in winter adventure, individual slides from different sources to ensure the joy for the whole family.

And a restaurant above the Winterlude festival. Taste of Winterlude this year took place from 20 January to 2 February 2006, where many popular restaurants in Ottawa-Gatineau specialties served in the game Grand Prix format affordable menu. We missed the restaurant area, good food, but not lacking in our past 2 days in Ottawa. Nice dinner at our Mardi Gras and Darcy McGee's has given us a sample of some of the culinary delights offered in Ottawa.
Winterlude offers a wide variety of activities, and fortunately, this weekend past, we had the opportunity to participate in some. We really enjoyed the experience and hopes to return to Ottawa for another party, including the famous Tulip Festival in May next …….
