Things To Do In Ottawa At Night

The Capital of Canada since 1857, Ottawa gets its name from the Algonquin word adawe, meaning to trade. Home to the longest skating rink in the world, namely the Canal Rideau, the capital’s population is just shy of one million people. Almost half of that population is under the age of 35, making the city one of the youngest cities in the country. So it’s no surprise to find a lot of cannabis enthusiasts in Ottawa. Although lacking the dispensaries numbers like the neighbouring city of Toronto, the Capital’s weed scene is constantly growing and lots of reputable establishments can be visited to find high-quality products at a competitive price.
