  • Luggage And Bags: Back pack

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Light Boots or hiking shoes, Sweaters, Snow pants, Wind braker pants. Very warm winter coat! This is the most important. You need something light and warm that protects you from the cold wind. The best ones are Columbia, Descent, Convert. Chose one that zippes up to your nose. Also bring gloves. That's if you come during the winter time. Dress in layers.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Tooth brush.

    Photo Equipment: Camera. Spare batteries. (film) Most tourists come here during the winter time when Winterlude is.

    Advise: During the winter time keep your camera protected from the extreme cold weather by keeping it in a bag or under your coat. The lens and other moving parts can freeze up in your camera!

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Skates, skis. Check link below for current weather conditions.

    Miscellaneous: It's a good idea to have a cellular telephone and a valid credit card with you, just incase. For the occasion of Winterlude or Canada day, please make advanced reservations for your accomodation.

     Great Ottawa tips! I'm planning a trip in May.. What's the weather like then?

     You live in a wonderful and really clean city! Your Parliament is even bigger than ours (i miss the photos about the internals-must be nice!). Thank you for this nice page!

     Hi John. Looks like a lovely city you live in! Here in Dubai we also have an Amphi-bus, and German people seem to be just as proud of their front gardens as Ottawa-residents! My ratings are definitely with you. Greetings from the desert / Jess :-)
