There are many things going on this week-end in Ottawa. Click here to be taken to CTVNews snapshot of activity.

The Asian Festival starts today (July 22) and runs until Sunday July 24). Details at the Ottawa Asian Fest and at Allevents .

The Canadian Tulip Festival starts today with the opening ceremonies at 11 am. The delay in getting warmer weather has kept them from blossoming early – so looks like the timing is good. The festival runs till May 23. I drove by Dow’s lake yesterday and saw many kiosks ready to host the crowds. Do go out there and enjoy the beautiful weather. Alas, the forecast calls for rain from Sunday to Tuesday.
