** September 24: Food Truck Rendez-Vous ** The Rendez-Vous is a community-centric event. It is all about great street food and even greater times. Bring your friends, your children, your neighbours, your parents, even your second cousin twice removed. ** September 24 - OttawaAirsoft.com’s Area of Operations ** OttawaAirsoft.com will be hosting a scheduled event — continuation of the popular Battlefield Series of OPFOR vs BLUEFOR.  This series usual gets 100-150 players of all skill levels.
