If you live in Ottawa, then you must embrace our lovely tradition of Winterlude. If you are so brave as to sport a pair of skates, you can make it a point to get yourself to Dow's Lake and observe the Urban Art exhibit featuring the works of young graffiti artists. Or you can view the Eco Art exhibit featuring 32 environmental photos taken by young photographers. For a preview, check out the online Gallery.
Other fun things to do (if you can get past the plummeting thermometer) include watching the Opening Ceremony fireworks at 9pm on February 4th at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. And of course, the highlight of living in this frigid country is seeing the impossibily delicate Ice Sculptures in Confederation Park. This year's competition takes place from Feb 4-6, followed by a week or two of viewing as the creations slowly drip into oblivion.
