Strollercize (Clubs)

Parents and their tots stroll their way to fitness along the paths of Old Ottawa South. The group meets 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) starting from the parking lot of the Sunnyside Library at 10:15 am. You may have noticed a bench placed there that was donated by Strollercize alumni as a thank-you to Boomerang Kids for providing this program free of charge. For more details on the program, see http://www.boomerangkids.ca/strollercize.

Garden Club

Old Ottawa South Garden Club members represent a mix of beginners and more experienced gardeners, with gardens that range from pot-filled apartment balconies to professionally landscaped lots. We share the passion, curiosity, frustration, and pleasure of this pastime.
