Celebrate your birthday with Dexter the Dinosaur

Because we know how important celebrating birthdays are (for the young and for the young at heart), we recently shared some Pandemic Birthday Party ideas. And while we may not be able to gather in groups right now and celebrate with big parties, there are many things we can still do to celebrate, including receiving a free special message from the City of Ottawa’s favourite dinosaur, Dexter!

Get started by messaging Ottawa Recreation and Culture on Facebook with your child’s birthday information and name to receive a personalized message from Dexter! Please give at least two days’ notice. If you're not on social media and want a birthday message from Dexter you can email rcfssocialmedia@ottawa.ca.

Not celebrating a birthday, but still want to have some dino-sized fun? Alongside the colouring pages that have been posted to their social media pages every Friday, Ottawa Recreation and Culture have also started the Dino Challenge (with more to come). Keep an eye on their page for more Dexter antics!

After all, who doesn’t love a dancing dinosaur?
