About

613today is a free guide to everything happening in Ottawa-Gatineau.

Why I built this

I moved to Ottawa in the winter of 2021. Ottawa has amazing food, great events, and plenty of things to do, but finding it all in one place is surprisingly hard. Information is scattered across dozens of websites, Facebook groups, and word-of-mouth. I wanted a single place where anyone could discover what's happening in the city, so I built one.

If you find 613today useful, please share it with someone who might too. That's the best way to support this project.
