Ottawa works best when the plan still has room to flex.

YEAR-ROUND INTENT
The city needs pages for tonight, this weekend, and the “what should we do?” moment.
The city shifts with the season, so a strong Ottawa page needs room for patios, festivals, canal-side walks, cold-weather date ideas, and spontaneous dinners that turn into something more.
