The Arboretum and the Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Ontario
Sledding and tobogganing are probably two of the most popular winter activities and, although everyone has their own favorite hill, the Arboretum in Ottawa seems to win most over. If you are in
neighborhood and decide to check this hill out, make sure to dress warm and bring a friend. However, if you are bringing children, you should not let any children under the age of five ride alone.

The Rideau Canal runs 4.8 miles long and has the equivalent surface area of 90 Olympic hockey rinks. It is also the focus of Ottawa’s Winterlude festival held every year around
February. Your skating experience will not be complete without trying a famous Beaver Tails pastry. Trust us, you won’t regret it!
