Annual Hike & Spa Day

ケベック州の紅葉と露天風呂へLET’S GO!

It’s time for another year of hiking and “onsen”! JETAA Alumni and company, join us for an afternoon of hiking as we explore the Mackenzie Estate in Gatineau Park, checking out the old ruins and a waterfall nearby. Afterwards, relax your muscles at the popular Nordik Spa in Chelsea, which features a variety of outdoor hot baths!

While this is a paid-by-attendee event, JETAA Alumni members will receive approximately $20 off the entrance fee to Nordik Spa! The ticket’s reduced cost will be $74 (instead of $94). E-transfers will be sent to treasurer@jetaaottawa.ca. Tickets will then be purchased by a JETAA Ottawa exec. (Do not send money until asked). Register first for the event on Eventbrite here!

While there is no limit for people to come hiking, a maximum of 10 tickets are available for the Nordik Spa portion of this event.

1001 Pots Excursion

On Saturday, August 17th, JETAA Ottawa is once more planning a day trip to Val-David to enjoy the 1001 Pots Festival! Check out wares from a variety of different potters as well as enjoy some Japanese sweets right there in the middle of the festival’s grounds!

“Welcoming nearly a hundred Québec artisans each year and offering educational and recreational activities, 1001 Pots is more than an exhibition, it’s the biggest ceramics event in Canada! After more than thirty years at the helm of 1001 Pots, in 2021, Kinya Ishikawa passed the torch to Sacha Ghadiri and Nouchine Dardachti.

Through the exhibition of utilitarian pieces and artistic works of all genres and formats, the presence of artists in residence, the varied demonstrations as well as the musical, poetic, and theatrical performances, the event is a summer must-see in an enchanting setting.”

From the 1001 Pots Website

It is located in Val-David, roughly 2 hours from Ottawa and 70 minutes from Montreal. Space is dependent on carpooling availability. Click here for registration and FAQ!
