Ottawa is Open for Business
We were pleased to support Ottawa is Open along with our partners at Invest Ottawa and Ottawa Tourism, hosted by Canderel in the lobby of newly renovated Constitution Square. Wednesday’s event was a beautiful example of how the business community can come together to animate an unusual space and create vibrancy and raise over $17,000 for the Shepherds of Good Hope.
We know that city building plays a critical role in our quality of life and the success of our businesses. The board of trade is focused on an affordable, inclusive, and sustainable Ottawa. And that includes a vibrant and diverse downtown.This requires collaboration and the engagement of the whole community.
Thank you to everyone who helped put together this incredible night including, Carole Saad of Chic + Swell Event Designers, Shawn Hamilton and the teams at Canderel, Invest Ottawa, Ottawa Tourism, and Shepherds of Good Hope.
