Voice of the Ottawa Business Community

“Our Ottawa Board of Trade membership has been invaluable in fostering connections and providing insights that have contributed to our growth. The platform has allowed us to engage with a diverse range of businesses, from small startups to large corporations, helping us to better understand their evolving energy needs and to tailor our services accordingly. OBOT's advocacy work has also created a more favourable business environment, which in turn supports our own long-term sustainability and growth.”

“The Ottawa Board of Trade stands alone as the only independent voice of business in Ottawa, uniting all sectors, industries, and interest groups. It operates free from any external agenda, with a singular focus on supporting and advancing the success of businesses throughout the city. If you are an Ottawa business that is committed to your people, then you need to be a member. We have a shared responsibility to lift our entire eco-system up. Whether directly, or indirectly, the more resources we can provide to OBOT, the more impact they can have on our city and our people.”

“The Ottawa Board of Trade’s ability to convene leaders across sectors, foster collaboration, and influence policy makes them a vital connector between business, government, and community. What sets OBOT apart is its commitment to long-term city-building. Whether it's supporting transformational projects like Lansdowne 2.0, driving conversations around economic development, or advancing inclusive growth, OBOT plays a critical role in shaping a more vibrant and resilient Ottawa.”
