Our Vision & Values

Building a more connected Ottawa.

A Shared Vision for Our City

Through collaboration with local partners, community leaders, and residents, the event reflects a shared vision of an Ottawa where every person feels seen, valued, respected, and included.

More than a celebration, One Ottawa is a powerful reminder that the strength of our city comes from its people, cultures, stories, and connections. It is a celebration of who we are, what unites us, and the collective future we are building together.
