The Ottawa Board of Trade - together with key local partners including the City of Ottawa, Ottawa Tourism, Invest Ottawa, the Ottawa Coalition of BIAs, and RGA (Regroupement des gens d’affaires de la Capitale)—is calling on YOU to be a part of Ottawa’s economic recovery and rebound plan by putting your money where your heart is and BUYING LOCAL this holiday season and beyond.

The #BuyLocalOttawa campaign is a reminder to everyone that businesses drive our local economy, enhance our community culture and shape our future. They support all of us. So now it is time to support them.

Most important! Please be patient and kind—many businesses are still short staffed. Your generosity and local loyalty will help employers and employees in the hardest hit sectors: restaurants, retail, personal services, tourism and accommodations, festivals and events, and live entertainment.
