Here is just some of the special programming for you and your family to check out in Ottawa this winter! Be safe, and have fun!

Happy Chinese New Year from The Agent DK Team!

Happy Chinese New Year! It is the Year of the Ox. The Ox is the second of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The Ox was about to be the first to arrive, but Rat tricked Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived, Rat jumped down and landed ahead of Ox. Thus, Ox became the second animal.

Featured Community – Kemptville

What a wonderful community to raise a family and a great place to call home. This Town is extremely community minded and they truly look after each other. The town boasts an abundance of nature trails, waterfront parks, fabulous sports facilities, restaurants, shopping, excellent schools, a local hospital, churches, golf courses, Long-Term Care and retirement residences, hardware stores, a number of grocery stores and pharmacies, doctors’ offices and clinics, with ample room for many new business owners to set up shop and the big box stores usually found in major cities are also located in the town. A short 30 minute drive to the Ottawa International Airport or via Rail has this Town connected with the world.

In recent years Ottawans have been flocking to this bedroom community which started out as a small piece of land with a sawmill. Lyman Clothier purchased his 100 acres and built his mill, and the town’s development took flight.

Home to roughly 4,000 residents, Kemptville is located in the Municipality of North Grenville with a population of 17,000, on the south branch of the Rideau River about 50 kilometres south of Ottawa and 30 minutes from the US Border. Kemptville can be accessed from Highway 416, exiting at Leeds and Grenville Road 43. The rural features combined with its various amenities has made Kempville the best-kept secret – but the word is out now, making it a very popular destination for families.

Remember Your Poppy

The time leading up to Remembrance day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices of our Canadian soldiers.

Veterans of all ages and other fellow Canadians usually gather downtown and in our local communities for special events and ceremonies. Even if we cannot gather together with the Pandemic amongst us this year, Remembrance Day somehow holds an extra special place in our hearts.

Check your local community Facebook groups or community websites to see what is happening in your community virtually!

Here is a list of some of the Remembrance Day events in the Ottawa area on November 11 – Lest We Forget.
