Upcoming Events

The Ottawa Chapter coordinates a variety of activities throughout each calendar year. Activities range from the local Chapter AGM, which is traditionally held in the first quarter of the year, to seminars on a wide range of topics.

These events often include a speaker or a tour of an interesting Ottawa area site - the Diefenbunker for example!

For those with an interest in sports -- there is the HOPE Beach Volleyball team, the Annual Golf Tournament held in the summer, the Curling Bonspiel and a family night at the Kanata Wave Pool, which are usually held in the first quarter of the year. For the avid paddler.
