HELLO OTTAWA It’s Tuesday, September 27, 2022 and anyone who would like to gaze at the stars – especially Jupiter – should go the to final Star Party at the Diefenbunker car park this Sunday .
Let us remind your of our rules: it's called the Best Of Ottawa, but your nominations can be from the city of Ottawa, la ville de Gatineau, the Ottawa Valley, or the Outaouais; we only shortlist organizations that are headquartered in this area (for example, you may love Second Cup coffee but as it's headquartered in Montréal it's ineligible for nomination); and the person, place, or thing that you're nominating must be current (don't nominate a gig you attended in 2017). If you enter your email address, we'll do a random draw for a $100 gift card to the Ottawa business of your choice. ALSO We didn't include Best Bakery as a category. We should have. Email your nomination for Best Bakery to bestofottawa@theottawan.com and we'll add them in the voting round.
