Just East of the Rideau River from downtown Ottawa are the Vanier and Rockliffe neighbourhoods. Surrounded by beautiful bike paths, hidden ponds and parks, this area is becoming the next hot spot for burgeoning artisnal foods and shops that are thriving among Franco-Ontarian business that have been in the area for years.
This gem has a two week sugar shack festival every April but is available all year round for rent. Bring your family and go for a small hike and play in the park right next door. Grab a book from the quaint library next door or bring your dog here and bring them for a walk down Writers Way. There is a outdoor winter skating rink here and a community centre.
