OTTAWA -- It's the final weekend of April, and there's lots of things you can do safely during the stay-at-home order in Ontario.

The Ontario government says during the stay-at-home order, you should only go out for necessities, including "outdoor exercise or walking pets in your community."

CTVNewsOttawa.ca look at things to do in Ottawa, eastern Ontario and western Quebec this weekend.
