Spring is in the air! 🌿🙌
The thaw has begun, and Ottawa-Gatineau is shedding its winter coat. ❄🧥
The first day of spring is the perfect time to get outside, explore the city, and take in the changing scenery. (probably with an umbrella!) ☂
What’s your favourite way to welcome spring?

Le printemps est dans l’air! 🌿🙌
La fonte des neiges a commencé et la région d’Ottawa-Gatineau se défait de son manteau blanc. ❄🧥
Le premier jour du printemps est le moment idéal pour sortir, explorer la ville et admirer le paysage qui se transforme (probablement avec un parapluie! ☂).
Quelle est votre façon préférée d’accueillir le printemps?

Westboro Beach and the Three Sisters Rivers. ✨
Did you know Westboro Beach sits downstream from the Noire, Dumoine and Coulonge rivers, called the “Three Sisters” by the Algonquin People?
Artist griffinartstudio honoured these rivers in his artwork inside the three Strutt towers. Inspired by his canoe journeys, his designs reflect the site’s natural beauty and the cultural significance. In keeping with Strutt’s original architectural vision, he used flowing concrete linework to evoke a sense of openness and harmony with nature.
Come see it for yourself at Westboro Beach.

La plage Westboro et les Trois Sœurs. ✨
Saviez-vous que la plage Westboro est située en aval du bassin versant des rivières Noire, Dumoine et Coulonge? Le peuple algonquin appelle ces rivières les Trois Soeurs.
L’artiste griffinartstudio a honoré ces rivières dans le pavillon Strutt. Ses créations s’inspirent de ses voyages en canot et reflètent la beauté naturelle du site et son importance culturelle. Fidèle à la vision architecturale originale de Strutt, il a utilisé des lignes fluides en béton pour évoquer un sentiment d’ouverture et d’harmonie avec la nature.
Venez admirer les oeuvres d’art à la plage Westboro.
