Welcome to a new week of great events in Ottawa! There’s no shortage of activity for this week, with many choices for all tastes. You don’t have to wait for the weekend for some great outings either, the whole week is so packed with must-attend events, that it’s hard to choose. Concerts and Live entertainment this week include Lights, Jim Cuddy, John Cleese and the Harlem Globetrotters. The Ottawa Wedding Show hits the EY Centre this weekend, and the monthly card and comic show runs Sunday at the Jim Durrell Centre.

On the theatre side, the latest great performance of “Blink” starts at the Gladstone and will run for the next two weeks. There are three gala type events this week, two running Thursday with Wine for Wishes, and Wishes and Thrones. The other is the Gin and Jazz Gala on Saturday at Restaurant International. Finally, the last Sens home game of the year is on Monday night. So we can finally put this dismal season behind us.

My top three picks of the week:

• eSAX – The Entrepreneur Social Advantage Experience (Wednesday, Horticulture Building)
• Diversity of Living Things MEET A SLOTH!!!! (Fri-Sun, Nepean Sportsplex)
• Brew Donkey Tour: Ruined Landscapes Vernissage at the Diefenbunker (Wednesday, Brew Donkey)
