Ottawa: The Savvy Guide to February

Feb gets a bad rap but let’s look closer.

We’ve got a lot of love this month with Family Day and Valentine’s Day. And if you’re in BC and you don’t have Family Day, you’ve got the Olympics to be proud of. So here’s to February and all that it’s got goin’ on.

DO
Watch the CBC documentary on Thursday, February 4 at 9 pm entitled ‘Hyper Parents & Coddled Kids’.
Why? Because you can learn from experts who weigh in on the effect that hyper-parenting (Who, us?) will have on our kids and their generation.

GO
Catch a breeze at the Winterlude Kite Flying Demonstration at Jacques-Cartier Park (Sun Life Snowflake Kingdom) in Gatineau February 6–7.
Why? To fill the winter white sky with dazzling colour!

GET
A plan for Valentine’s Day. Now. We mean the treats, cards and the class list. Start getting Jack and Jill to fill out those notes.
Why? Because otherwise you’ll be sitting up late at night writing out all the kids’ names yourself.

PLAY
With puppets.
Why? Because it’s fun and oh-so-easy to set up a theatre at home.
