Spacing Ottawa presents Next City Café

____

Next City Café is a new monthly discussion forum that explores the spaces, places and ideas that matter in Ottawa.  Every 3^rd Wednesday of the month, urban enthusiasts, activists, planners and residents will get together to explore, talk and be inspired to contribute to making this city’s spaces even better. Come join the conversation!

Ottawa is a beautiful city to cycle around but is it the best city to navigate as an everyday cyclist?  What would make commuting to work, cycling kids to daycare, trips to the market, nights on the town and a leisurely ride to the beach even better?  Let’s talk about it together.
