What is Choose Ottawa?
Choose Ottawa began in 2017, in response to hearing about so many of our friends struggling either with the cost of Jewish living in the larger Canadian cities or with the lack of Jewish infrastructure in the smaller Canadian cities. We believe that Ottawa is the perfect combination - Ottawa has all the essential amenities of Jewish life, such as Jewish education, kosher food and vibrant synagogues, but in a smaller city, that is affordable, accessible and also unified. In Ottawa, all types of Jewish people participate in Jewish life together, a unique and beautiful example of Achdut and Ahavat Yisrael.
