Celebrating 10+ years of #DoTheDaniel
In Ottawa, the start of spring is signalled by the colourful tulips that take over the city. It’s during this time of year when the city comes to life after a long, cold winter. Festivals, farmers’ markets and patio hopping become regular activities for many people living and visiting Ottawa during this busy season. There’s always something to do!
Even though I’ve lived outside of Ottawa for years now, I was born and raised there. I wasn’t always fond of it in the past, but every time I go back to visit, I make it my personal mission to find something new and exciting that reignites my love of the city. Over the years, I’ve seen such progress as it takes on an evolution towards morphing itself into a kick-ass major Canadian city. And it seems to be working, highlighted by signs of change around every corner – from the revamping of the city centre for Canada 150, to the light rail, to even the feeling of a shift in certain neighbourhoods. Ottawa really is the place to be these days (and trust me, I never thought I would ever say that).
