Im considering relocating for work and looking at Ottawa as a potential destination. I’m originally from Montreal and have been to Ottawa a handful of times. However, I don’t know anything about actually living in Ottawa. I’m bilingual so French or English communities are fine. I’ll likely be looking for an up and coming area for young professionals. Somewhere I can easily commute to bars/restaurants/events. Are there any specific areas of the city this board would recommend?
