Activities and events
A standing ovation for our future culinary elites
Calling all foodies, here is an event you won’t want to miss! The graduating students from the cuisine du marché program at the École hôtelière de l’Outaouais will be presenting their last meal prepared for the public at the restaurant Table des 3 Vallées. The menu, which is 100% thought out and prepared by the students, will speak to their hard work and dedication, as well as their incredible skill accumulated over the duration of the course. They invite you to come enjoy a wonderful meal, as there are still some spots available.

Yuri’s Night
On April 12, 1961, a brave astronaut became the first human in space. That astronaut was Yuri Gagarin. The event is commemorated in many cities around the world, including Gatineau-Ottawa! Visit the Canada Aviation and Space Museum to celebrate this important milestone. The evening includes celestial entertainment, space food, a science slam (like a poetry slam, but for scientists!), door prizes and a cash bar.

An evening of swing dancing
This style of jazz music has been around for almost 100 years, and it’s still popular today. That’s because swing music is irresistible! Treat yourself to a night of dancing in Ripon, where the Montreal group The Royal Pickles will play standards and some of their own original material.
