Submit news

Our Community Information Bulletin is a great way to get in front of over 2,200 professionals in Ottawa’s not-for-profit, government and social services sectors. It also reaches members of the public. This service is completely free for community organizations. We publish the bulletin to raise awareness about local news, events and services that can help people in our community.
