Friends in Ottawa
Make friends in Ottawa.
Ottawa draws people in for work and postings, and it can take a while for the city to feel like home. The Ottawa pool is open for anyone ready to build a regular crew.
WeVenture is forming crews in Toronto first. In Ottawa, sign-ups go into a local pool, and a crew forms once enough people nearby want the same thing and fit the same week. You can also choose an online crew in the meantime.
Free for adults 18+. No swiping, no browsing profiles.
Ideas for a Ottawa crew
What a crew in Ottawa could do.
Your crew forms around one shared interest and votes on the actual plans. Here is where a few of them could start.
Cycling
Ride the pathways along the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa River.
Hiking
Cross the river to Gatineau Park for trails and lookouts close to downtown.
Local food
Start in the ByWard Market and branch out to a different neighbourhood each week.
Places named here are public spots a crew might choose. WeVenture is not affiliated with them.
Close to home
Ottawa neighbourhoods a crew could meet in.
Crews form around people who live close enough to meet every week, so where you live matters as much as what you love.
