The OBoT Perspective
AS WE PRESENT this Fall/Winter 2024 issue of CAPITAL, we reflect on a time of remarkable transformation for our city. Ottawa continues to grow as a vibrant, dynamic destination, where local entrepreneurs and business leaders make lasting impacts on the lives of residents, visitors, and investors alike.
This issue highlights the resilience, creativity, and collaboration that define Ottawa’s business community. From innovative small businesses to impactful charitable foundations, our members are the backbone of our economy, contributing not only through economic output but also by creating a more connected, inclusive, and supportive community. The Ottawa Board of Trade remains committed to advocating for policies that support business growth and fostering connections among our members so they can thrive in an increasingly competitive and complex global market.
In this edition, we celebrate how our community has successfully navigated challenges by advancing policies, strengthening networks, and investing in our city’s future. Our members are at the forefront of sustainable development, social responsibility, and technology, making Ottawa a model city for inclusive growth and opportunity. Our rich heritage and forward looking approach allow us to attract talent and investment while embracing our unique Canadian identity.
As we look to the future, we invite you to join us in shaping the city we love, one where businesses continue to play a pivotal role in enhancing our quality of life. Together, we are building a prosperous Ottawa that welcomes the world to experience our rich history, diverse culture, and economic promise.
