Our mission is to promote the city’s fascinating past, through our motto “for youth, by youth.” We share stories about Ottawa from its beginnings as a rough-and-tumble Bytown through to its rise as the nation’s capital. We reach out to our peers and fellow Ottawans through our blog posts, videos, contests, and events.
