Yes, there was that plus the huge ice sculpture garden at Confederation Park, waiter's races with trays and glasses, the bed race, old timers' hockey games, a "winter terrace" bar in a temporary wooden building the NAC used to set up with live music...
I am sure I am forgetting stuff as well.
(As for New Year's Eve, the Parliament Hill event I recall had thousands of people, somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 in my estimation.)
