Ottawa is a pretty fantastic city. We’ve got big city lights with a small city feel. We’ve got plenty of stuff to do, no matter what time of year. And, for most of us, we are living here for 4+ years. So why not make those 4 years count? The Her Campus U Ottawa team has come up with a bucket list of things you can do around Ottawa! Tell us which ones you have done or are planning on doing. Or, add your own things to the list!
