SUMMARY:Fall Rhapsody
DESCRIPTION:Autumn is a special time to visit the Ottawa area while vibrant fall colours illuminate the city’s greenspaces and urban areas. Discover the magic of autumn during the annual Fall Rhapsody event in Canada’s capital region.  \nCity in colour \nThe urban core itself features spectacular displays of fall colours and many sites are just a short walk from most downtown accommodations. Have a picnic in one of the city’s beautiful parks like Major’s Hill\, Rockcliffe and Vincent Massey\, and stroll or cycle the multi-use pathways that line waterways in Ottawa and Gatineau.  \nColourful countryside \nJust outside Ottawa’s urban core\, you’ll find protected landscapes dotted with farms\, forests and wetlands. Visit the numerous sites in National Capital Greenbelt to hike the trails and bike the paths\, photograph birds and sunsets\, or go apple and pumpkin picking.  \nHues in the hills \nGatineau Park—a bucolic conservation area just a 15-minute drive from Parliament Hill—is a popular fall destination thanks to its bright deciduous trees\, green conifers and rugged hills. Escape the crowds by visiting lesser known locations like the Philippe Lake Sector and Meech Creek Valley. You can also visit Mackenzie King Estate\, the historic home and surrounding grounds built by Canada’s 10th and longest-serving Prime Minister.  \nGetting around \nDue to Gatineau Park’s popularity during Fall Rhapsody\, access to and within the area is limited. Certain roads are closed to traffic during certain periods to allow active use\, and a limited amount of free NCC shuttle buses depart from Ottawa and Gatineau on weekends and stop at locations in the southern sector of the park.

SUMMARY:Databells Experience: An immersive art installation
DESCRIPTION:Databells is an immersive experience featuring a quirky and eclectic collection of reclaimed bells (from cowbells\, to jingle bells\, to doorbells\, to giant bells)\, all interconnected via sophisticated software which makes each bell chime in time to a large variety of statistics. Bells might ring when: “a star is born in our galaxy”\, “someone dies due to smoking”\, “a ship passes through the Suez canal”\, “an Amazon package is delivered”\, “Someone in this room just farted”\, and so on. This conceptual art piece gently guides the experiencer through a winding path of custom wood tables\, all arranged in an experiential statistical symphony.\n\nThis special exhibition experience is the first public showcasing of the Databells art installation by Rich Loen. As an immersive experience\, it dares to promise intrigue\, wonder\, whimsy\, and a sense of discoverability for you to explore.\n\nVisits must be scheduled through Eventbrite\, and will time slots are available from 10am-3pm (Thursday to Sunday) from September 25th to October 17th.\nREGISTER NOW
