OTTAWA WEEKEND GUIDE | March 27–29, 2026 
March is coming to a close, and Ottawa is fully stepping into spring. 
The sun feels warmer, the city is coming alive, and with it, the real estate market is gaining momentum again.
As a Realtor® in Ottawa, this is a very active time for me — showings, meetings, strategy discussions with clients. People are returning to the market and starting to make real decisions again. 
But weekends are still about balance — slowing down, enjoying life, and reconnecting with the city. Here’s how you can spend this weekend in Ottawa
