    1.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Luggage and bags: Lightweight is best

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Winter, dress warmly, sweater, hats mits, it get really freezing! If you are cold, you won't enjoy it!
    Summer can get really hot! Like right now in June! Bring your skis to Ottawa, as there are great ski hills nearby, like Camp Fortune, Vorlage, Mont Cascades

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Nice place in summer for swimming near Ottawa is at Lac Philippe in Quebec, very close to Ottawa

    Luggage and bags: I took my rucksack.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It was still warm when I went in October so I was wearing jeans and Tee's but I was tols that in wintwer it can be bitterly cold here. So I guess Warm weather clothing in the winter.

    Toiletries and Medical Supplies: you can get everything you need in Ottawa.

    Photo Equipment: You can get everything you need in Ottawa.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The weather in Ottawa can be really extreme. In the winter, wear really warm heavy clothes because it is COLD! Temperatures can dip below -30 degrees Celsius (I waited 20 min. for the school bus one time in this temp)!

    During a summer's day, it can be really hot with temperatures rising above 30 degrees Celsius. But carry a light jacket or sweater around with you if you're going to be out at night.
