Wow! I thought I had reviewed the Leo Boisvin Community Centre, but apparently not! It's time to…read morechange that... So, we in Prescott are really lucky to have this community centre for special events. It used to be a hockey rink, but it outlived its usefulness and would cost more to upgrade and would never be up to par to compare with modern hockey rinks. The town is thankfully building a new one in the west end of town south of the 401 (more on that when they finally open it). Meanwhile, rather than tear down this rink, they have converted it to a community centre, and they host special events there, like a Christmas craft show, roller skating events, and different shows. There was recently a small local business show hosted there, where companies showcased their wares (such as a coffee company, trailer company, real estate businesses, a tiny homes outfit, and so on). We are really lucky to have this venue! I'm so glad the town is putting it to good use. It is a good size for these events, without being a huge complex. We will definitely be back.

They offer monthly luncheons, knitting and crochet / craft group get togethers, and the occasional field trip. There's a euchre club and a woodworking club. I believe there are others. They get together weekly. Great!

My husband and I are fitness members with the City of Ottawa, and we always come to this location…read more It is a little bit out of our way, but the facility is newer and much cleaner than the Kanata Wave Pool location. A big selling feature is that there are separate change rooms for the gym and the pool. This means that if you're going to work out you're not walking in puddles while trying to change, also, I've never seen a child in the change-room for the gym so it feels more comfortable for me. Also, the real reason that we got City of Ottawa memberships is because we aren't forced into a contract like with a regular gym. Instead you pay month to month, if you are going to be there. This is nice because I prefer to work out outside during the summer and won't be wasting money on a membership for those months.

My wife, son, daughter-in-law and I were on Wellesley Island on vacation for a week. We wanted to…read moreget fresh veggies and fruit before going to the supermarket to stock up for the week. I found Cross Island Farms on the internet and we decided to check it out. The farm was not what I expected but it turned out to be a pleasant experience. When we drove up to the front of the house (yes, house) we were greeted by two friendly dogs. As we are all dog lovers, we made friends with them right away. We went inside and saw a table full of fresh fruit and vegetables and more in a refrigerated case. Someone (one of the owners?) came to help us. She helped us choose what we needed and told us about the selection of meats. We then also bought a thick sirloin steak that we ate that night. It was yummy. She also told us about the fruit picking. We went back the following morning to do that and got some more freshly picked fruit. Wow, those strawberries were very tasty. Can't get them in Westchester County. (We live in Peekskil, NY and Denver. No one is from San Francisco. Where did that come from?) As for the animals, I think you have to take the full tour to see them all. But we did see a few pigs and goats. I wanted to pet them all as they seemed friendly but they were behind a fence. Oh well. Overall, a very satisfying experience. Just don't expect anything fancy.

They sell goat, beef, pork, [organic/free-range] eggs, fruits, vegetables and herbs. They have educational (and enjoyable) farm tours, primitive campsites (private&no energy/water hook-ups, walk in etc.,) and volunteer opportunities. It is a fairly small farm run by two people in the thousand islands region of NY.

My friends started to throw a few things and I quickly joined in. You would not believe how hard it is to smash a keyboard. Lots of plates and glass to break. You get a few baseball-bat , Crowbars, sledgehammer. I personally had so much fun smashing a radio. It's a different activity that's for sure. You want to put on a pair of shoes that is appropriate. I would also recommend that you wear a hat or tuque. Because glass will get everywhere. They provide you with a cover all, gloves and a protective face shield. It's a very quick activity. Have fun !!! Don't bring the children!

Ottawa is so lucky to have this facility. Located in the Riverside area near Billings Bridge it's…read moregot an unreal amount of stuff happening at all times of the year. Under their umbrella, there's a ton of fitness centres and wellness programs (like the Nepean Tennis Club!) under their "lifefit" heading. I had my first experience here in a summer camp when I was young, and then at a volleyball camp as a teen. As an adult, I appreciate all the clubs and sport leagues available. They also do training courses like CPR and First Aid, and have specialty classes like Fine Art which is cool. Their facility is a big one, and there's a ton to learn and see, so take your time and soak it all in. I'm a big advocate of checking out their website to see what might be of interest to your fine self. You can get an individual or family membership, and there's a lot of options, so if you get confused, maybe go in for a chat. The FieldHouse Bar and Grill is also a part of the centre and serves up breakfast, lunch dinner and snacks and drinks. There's also a sports shop that sells fitness gear like clothing, tennis rackets and they offer restringing which is helpful. They also have banquet and special event services as well as a massage and physiotherapy clinic! If you're looking to get active or make some new friends, this is an awesome place to check out. Also great for kids - they have a massive summer program!

I've never used the sports facilities here, but I really enjoy this location for conferences and…read moremeetings. They have multiple rooms that can be used for a number of different events. The lobby is nice and welcoming and the signage is very helpful to get the guests to where they need to be in the building. The food the catering staff creates is top quality and their event staff must be on point as I've never attended an event where anything went wrong from the venue's perspective. They recently added a temporary extension off the front. I'm not sure what this building houses. It includes an enclosed walkway from the main building to the new temporary building. That walkway is a bit awkwardly placed and makes cab drop-offs and pick-ups somewhat difficult. It's not possible to see the full driveway and getting passed the temporary walkway is a bit of a squeeze in order to get to the cab drop-off/pick-up. But with all new things come a few bumps, so I'm sure they'll figure this out quickly.
