A summer of recreation and cultural activities awaits

Starting Tuesday, April 30, browse register.ottawa.ca(link is external) and create a wish list of your favourite programs and activities for the summer session.

Mark your calendars with these important registration dates:

Enjoy a wide range of recreational and cultural activities at the City's museums, recreation complexes and parks in English or French. With indoor and outdoor features like art studios, gymnasiums, rinks, tennis and basketball courts, pools and splash pads, there's an activity and a space for everyone to be active this summer.

Explore new frontiers with popular STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) programs. Or discover the specialized arts programs delivered by professional instructors at the Nepean Visual Arts Centre, Nepean Creative Arts Centre or Shenkman Arts Centre.

If you can't attend in-person, consider a virtual program that strikes the right balance between keeping active and enjoying the comforts of home.
