The skinniest Boy Scout in his troop, 11-year-old Jody Miall stared longingly up at a rock-climbing wall dotted with fellow scouts. His scoutmaster had told him he was too light too climb, condemning him to the sidelines during the troop’s overnight rock-climbing trip. But when the rest of the group snuggled into sleeping bags, Jody snuck back into the gym and completed more successful climbs than the rest of the boys had, before his Scoutmaster discovered him and promptly kicked him out of Boy Scouts. Jody hasn’t stopped climbing since.

The ambitious kid moved on to compete nationally, placing fourth in North America, and is the official route setter for the Tour de Bloc. Now, Jody welcomes climbers of all ages and sizes into his gym. Meeting new climbers “takes me back to when I was 12, and just learning,” he says, noting that blind and acrophobic climbers have successfully scaled the gym’s 15,000 square feet of wall space. Jody attributes transformations such as these to Coyote Rock Gym’s impassioned instructors, who stay with climbers until they feel confident to explore the 35 different top ropes and four bouldering areas. He also says the noncompetitive environment stems from the communal nature of rock climbing itself: beginners may find themselves climbing—and struggling—alongside climbers such as instructor and National Team climber Yves Gravelle. “It’s the same feeling, whether you just started or have been climbing for 20 years,” Jody says. “Even when you’re good, your hands hurt just the same.”

1485 Merivale Rd. Nepean, Ontario

$10 for $20 Worth of Burgers and Malts

Chefs slather an ostrich burger in fresh onions and dijon mustard ($9.19), pair a batch of fresh-cut fries ($3.39+) with house-made gravy or aioli fry sauce ($1+), or top hand dipped milkshakes with whipped cream and a cherry ($5.69). See full menu.

Though Dick’s Drive-In & Dairy-Dip sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Frustrated by what they perceived as chain restaurants’ emphasis on efficiency over quality, the proprietors of Dick’s Drive-In & Dairy-Dip set out to recreate a casual burger and malt shop that served fare crafted with time-honoured techniques. Each patty of Angus Pride beef simmers over charcoal before burger crafters crown them with classic garnishes such as ketchup-filled rubies. Alongside more than half a dozen beef burgers, Dick’s culinary team concocts a number of specialty burgers from meats such as kangaroo, ostrich, and Italian veal and accents all burgers with gourmet toppings including cream cheese and sautéed mushrooms. Void of preservatives and nitrate, juicy hot dogs supplied by Sausage Kitchen can pair with a selection of hand-cut fries, hand-breaded onion rings, and house-made gravy or aioli dipping sauces. To satiate sweet teeth, Dick’s serves milkshakes, floats, and ice-cream treats to diners nestled in a cozy booth or gathered around the counter.

Stretching across the tree-lined shores of the Ottawa River, Les Vieux-Moulins 18-hole course spans 6,511 yards of immaculate fairways and greens. Stone faces hem a circuit of ponds that come into play on seven holes throughout the course, forming a rigid barrier between dry and peacefully drowned balls. The strategically placed water hazards create memorable shots on multiple holes, including the par 4 13th, where dimpled orbs seemingly pause in mid-air to gaze at their reflections in the large pond below, which players must carry if they hope to reach the green in regulation. A moderately difficult course when played from the farthest tees, the course caters to players of all abilities with three tee options.

Course at a Glance:

  • 18-hole, par 72 course
  • Length of 6,511 yards from the farthest tees
  • Course rating of 70.5 from the farthest tees
  • Slope rating of 116 from the farthest tees
  • Three tee options

$139 for the same spa package for two (a $350 total value)

During the spa pedicure, feet soak in sea salts before aestheticians trim, file, and smooth nails with gentle care, expunging calluses while a body polish exfoliates dry skin to render it as soft and radiant as a glowworm in a velvet nightshirt. To wrap up the rejuvenating session, deft digits massage fingers or toes to melt away tension, leaving patrons free to cartwheel on to their next treatment sporting nail shields gilded in vibrant polishes. Weary visages smile anew as handmade Éminence Organic facial products coat skin in herbal cleansers, toners, and exfoliators imported from Hungary. A custom mask detoxifies skin before muscle mavens knead bodies during a half-hour massage that aims to lure clients into a state of pure relaxation.

Among stone walls bathed in the glow of blue lights, NewU Body Bar’s talented aestheticians and nail technicians put their collective goal of pampering patrons into practice as they lavish signature spa treatments upon weary bodies. Throughout the day, staffers buzz about the marble-topped nail bar and private massage rooms while enhancing sparse fringe with eyelash extensions and erasing coffee, wine, and grass stains from grins in teeth-whitening sessions. Skilled in both traditional beautification and unique services, the spa technicians administer mouthwatering treatments including ice-cream sundae manicures and mimosa facials. To further bolster NewU’s atmosphere of serenity, a fleet of white leather couches enable guests to rest their feet and practice telepathically changing the channel on the spa’s flat-screen TVs.

Greg Best and Natalie Szabo founded The Sassy Bead Co. in the early ’90s, creating a sanctuary for more than 1,000 types of beads from seed beads to semiprecious stones. They also fill their shelves with rarer bead types, including Swarovski crystals, Japanese delicas, and freshwater pearls, available individually or as part of finished bracelets, necklaces, or toupees. Along with beads for purchase, the duo accepts beaded jewellery for repair, and crafts custom pieces for special occasions such as weddings and proms.

For studious minds, Greg and Natalie’s Glebe Sassy and Market Sassy locations host beading classes throughout the week. Beading Basics imparts beginning techniques for jewellery making, such as how to mine the earth for beads, and Softwire and Hardwire workshops teach the secrets of advanced techniques, including how to fashion illusion necklaces and cluster earrings. The Glebe location’s classes are open to the public, and Market Sassy also conducts private sessions at both locations for those seeking bead time with friends and family.

$67 for Four- to Five-Hour Whitewater-Rafting Trip on Ottawa River (Up to $135 Value)

During the High Adventure Rafting trip, all levels of paddlers careen through rapids on a 12-person custom-built Sotar raft before arriving back at the resort’s beaches.

River Run Rafting and Wilderness Resort, a once humble 12-raft outfit, has grown into a 165-acre resort that accommodates all levels of outdoorsmen with a variety of lodgings and a spa. But whitewater rafting remains the focus of the resort, with guides leading trips ranging from high-adventure surges through foaming rapids to gentle floats down the Ottawa River’s middle channel. And because the resort is located on a 4,000-foot stretch of shoreline, each trip ends on the resort’s beaches, meaning that rafters get more time on the water since there isn’t a second round of transport back to the resort.

River Run and Wilderness Resort’s staff of experts even pioneered a six-person sport raft, which is capable of turning back up river eddies, reentering rapids from the side, and suspending atop whitewater the way a surfer rides a wave.
