Ottawa Community Organizations
A great list of organizations and contact information for neighbourhood associations.
Ottawa Neighbourhood Study
"Our goal is to better understand the neighbourhoods in which we live and play in order to provide evidence on which aspects are important for health and well-being. We also wish to provide the City of Ottawa, health organizations, social organizations, and citizens with information on Ottawa’s 86 neighbourhoods that will help them to identify what is working well, and where community development is needed."
